[a]For this man is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he which hath builded the house, hath more honor than the house.

[b]Now Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a witness of the things which should be spoken after.

Footnotes

  1. Hebrews 3:3 The first comparison: The builder of the house is better than the house itself, therefore is Christ better than Moses. The reason of the consequent is this: because the builder of this house is God, which cannot be attributed to Moses: and therefore Moses was not properly the builder, but a part of the house: but Christ as Lord and God, made all this house.
  2. Hebrews 3:5 Another comparison: Moses was a faithful servant in this house, that is, in the Church, seeing the Lord that was to come, but Christ ruleth and governeth his house as Lord.
