The surrounding passage
Hebrews 3:11–15, King James Version
11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Context
The writer has just quoted Psalm 95, recalling how Israel hardened their hearts in the wilderness and could not enter God's rest (3:7–11), and has warned readers against an unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God (3:12). The remedy is daily encouragement of one another, while it is still "Today," a word picked up from the psalm.
