Bishops Bible 1568
| 3:1 | Therfore holy brethren, partakers of the celestiall callyng, consider the apostle and hye priest of our profession Christe Iesus, |
| 3:2 | Beyng faythfull to hym that appoynted hym, as also [was] Moyses in all his house. |
| 3:3 | For this [man] is counted worthy of more glorie then Moyses, inasmuch as he which hath buylded the house, hath more honour then the house. |
| 3:4 | For euery house is buylded of some man: But he that buylded all thynges, is God. |
| 3:5 | And Moyses veryly [was] faythfull in al his house, as a minister, for a witnesse of those thynges whiche were to be spoken after: |
| 3:6 | But Christe as a sonne [hath rule] ouer his owne house, whose house are we, yf we holde fast the confidence and the reioycyng of that hope vnto the ende. |
| 3:7 | Wherfore, as the holy ghost saith: Today yf ye wyll heare his voyce, |
| 3:8 | Harden not your heartes, as in the prouokyng, in the day of the temptation in the wyldernesse, |
| 3:9 | Where your fathers tempted me, proued me, and sawe my workes .xl. yeres. |
| 3:10 | Wherfore I was greeued with that generation, and sayde: they do alway erre in heart, they veryly haue not knowen my wayes. |
| 3:11 | So that I sware in my wrath, yf they shall enter into my rest. |
| 3:12 | Take heede brethren, lest at any tyme there be in you an euyll heart of vnbeliefe, to depart from the lyuyng God: |
| 3:13 | But exhort ye one another dayly, whyle it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened, through the deceytfulnesse of sinne. |
| 3:14 | For we are made partakers of Christe, yf we kepe sure vnto the ende the begynnyng of the substaunce, |
| 3:15 | So long as it is said: to day yf ye wyll heare his voyce, harden not your heartes, as in the prouokyng. |
| 3:16 | For some when they had hearde, dyd prouoke: howe be it, not all that came out of Egypt by Moyses. |
| 3:17 | But with whom was he displeased fourtie yeres? Not with them that had sinned, whose carkases fell in the desert? |
| 3:18 | And to who sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them that were not obedient? |
| 3:19 | And we see that they coulde not enter in, because of vnbeliefe. |
Bishops Bible 1568
The Bishops' Bible was produced under the authority of the established Church of England in 1568. It was substantially revised in 1572, and the 1602 edition was prescribed as the base text for the King James Bible completed in 1611. The thorough Calvinism of the Geneva Bible offended the Church of England, to which almost all of its bishops subscribed. They associated Calvinism with Presbyterianism, which sought to replace government of the church by bishops with government by lay elders. However, they were aware that the Great Bible of 1539 , which was the only version then legally authorized for use in Anglican worship, was severely deficient, in that much of the Old Testament and Apocrypha was translated from the Latin Vulgate, rather than from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. In an attempt to replace the objectionable Geneva translation, they circulated one of their own, which became known as the Bishops' Bible.
