Hebrews 3:14
12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.
15 As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”
16 For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
