Hebrews 3:3-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
3 For this One has been considered-worthy of more glory than Moses— to the degree that the One[a] having built the house has more honor than the house.
For Moses Was Faithful As a Servant, But Christ Was Faithful As a Son
4 For every house is built by someone, but[b] the One[c] having built all things is God. 5 And Moses was faithful in His[d] whole house as a servant[e], for[f] a testimony of the things which will[g] be spoken.

Hebrews 3:3-5
New International Version
3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses,(A) just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.(B) 5 “Moses was faithful as a servant(C) in all God’s house,”[a](D) bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future.
