HOLD FAST

For every house is builded by some

man; but he that built all things is God.

And Moses verily was faithful in all 

his house, as a servant, for a testimony 

of those things which were to be spoken 

after;  But Christ as a son over his own 

house; whose house are we, if we hold 

fast the confidence and the rejoicing of 

the hope firm unto the end.  Wherefore 

(as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye 

will hear his voice,  Harden not your 

hearts, as in the provocation, in the 

day of temptation in the wilderness:

When your fathers tempted me, 

proved me, and saw my works forty 

years.  Wherefore I was grieved with 

that generation, and said, They do 

alway err in their heart; and they 

have not known my ways.  So I 

sware in my wrath, They shall not 

enter into my rest.) Take heed, 

brethren, lest there be in any of 

you an evil heart of unbelief, in 

departing from the living God.

But exhort one another daily, 

while it is called To day; lest 

any of you be hardened through 

the deceitfulness of sin.  For we 

are made partakers of Christ, 

if we hold the beginning of our 

confidence stedfast unto the end;

Hebrews 3:4-13
