Hebrews 3:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [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.
4 For every house is builded of some man, and he that hath built all things, is God.
5 [b]Now Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a witness of the things which should be spoken after.

- 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.
- 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.
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.
