Hebrews 3
Hebrews chapter 3 from the John Wycliffe Bible (c.1395)
1 but Crist as a sone in his hous. Which hous we ben, if we holden sad trist and glorie of hope in to the ende. 2 Wherfor as the Hooli Goost seith, To dai, if ye han herd his vois, nyle ye hardne youre hertis, 3 as in wraththing, lijk the dai of temptacioun in desert; 4 where youre fadris temptiden me, and preueden, and siyen my werkis fourti yeeris. 5 Wherfor Y was wrooth to this generacioun, and Y seide, Euere more thei erren in herte, for thei knewen not my weies; 6 to whiche Y swore in my wraththe, thei schulen not entre in to my reste. 7 Britheren, se ye, lest perauenture in ony of you be an yuel herte of vnbileue, to departe fro the lyuynge God. 8 But moneste you silf bi alle daies, the while to dai is named, that noon of you be hardned bi fallas of synne. 9 For we ben maad parceneris of Crist, if netheles we holden the bigynnyng of his substaunce sad in to the ende. 10 While it is seid, to dai, if ye han herd the vois of hym, nyle ye hardne youre hertis, as in that wraththing. 11 For summen heringe wraththiden, but not alle thei that wenten out of Egipt bi Moises. 12 But to whiche was he wraththid fourti yeeris? Whether not to hem that synneden, whos careyns weren cast doun in desert? 13 And to whiche swoor he, that thei schulden not entre in to the reste of hym, not but to hem that weren vnbileueful? 14 And we seen, that thei myyten not entre in to the reste of hym for vnbileue. 16 Therfor drede we, lest perauenture while the biheest of entryng in to his reste is left, that ony of vs be gessid to be awei. 17 For it is told also to vs, as to hem. And the word that was herd profitide not to hem, not meynd to feith of tho thingis that thei herden. 18 For we that han bileued, schulen entre in to reste, as he seide, As Y swoor in my wraththe, thei schulen not entre in to my reste. And whanne the werkis weren maad perfit at the ordynaunce of the world, 19 he seide thus in a place of the seuenthe dai, And God restide in the seuenthe dai from alle hise werkis.
