Hebrews 3:2,3

Heb. 3:2-3. Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses (was faithful) in all his house. For this (man) was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

In the End for Which God Created the World, Edwards says that the "honour" here is derived from "glory":

Again the word "glory," as applied to God in Scripture, implies the view of knowledge of God's excellency. The exhibition of glory is to the view of beholders. The manifestation of glory, the emanation or effulgence of brightness, has relation to the eye. Light or brightness is a quality that has relation to the sense of seeing: we see the luminary by its light. And knowledge is often expressed in Scripture by light. The word "glory" very often in Scripture signifies or implies honor, as any one may soon see by casting his eye on a concordance. But honor implies the knowledge of the dignity and excellency of him who hath the honor. And this is often more especially signified by the word "glory," when applied to God. Numbers 14:21, "But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord," i.e. all the earth shall see the manifestations I will make of my perfect holiness and hatred of sin, and so of my infinite excellence. This appears by the context. So Ezekiel 39:21-23, "I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God. And the heathen shall know, that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity." And 'tis manifest in many places, where we read of God's glorifying himself, or of his being glorified, that one thing directly intended is, a manifesting or making known his divine greatness and excellency.

In Qualifications for Communion Edwards cites this text as showing that the N. T. "House" is the church, the equivalent of the temple of Ezekiel 44:6-9 into which the "uncircumcised in heart" were not to be brought:

But we all know, that the New Testament house of God is his church. Hebrews 3:3, "For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who builded the house, hath more honor than the house." Verse 6, "But Christ as a Son over his own house, whose house are we, " etc. 2 Timothy 2:20, "In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and of earth," etc. 1 Timothy 3:15, "That thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God." Ephesians 2:20; Ephesians 2:21, "And are built upon the foundation of the prophets and apostles, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 3:9, "Ye are God's building." Verse 1 Corinthians 3:16, "Know ye not, that ye are the temple of God?" 1 Peter 2:5, "Ye also as lively stones are built up a spiritual house." Chap. 1 Peter 4:17, "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God. And if it begin at us, what shall the end be?" etc. Hebrews 10:21, "And having a high priest over the house of God." Ezekiel's temple is doubtless the same that it is foretold the Messiah would build. Zechariah 6:12; Zechariah 6:13, "The man whose name is the Branch - he shall build the temple of the Lord, even he shall build the temple of the Lord." And what the temple that Christ builds is, the apostle tells, us, Hebrews 2:3; Hebrews 2:6.
