Hebrews 3:4

CreationGod's power and sovereignty

2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

5 Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.

6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.
