1 So we must be more careful to follow what we were taught. Then we will not be pulled away from the truth.
2 The teaching that God spoke through angels was shown to be true. And anyone who did not follow it or obey it received the punishment he earned.
3 The salvation that was given to us is very great. So surely we also will be punished if we live as if this salvation were not important. It was the Lord himself who first told about this salvation. And those who heard him proved to us that this salvation is true.
4 God also proved it by using wonders, great signs, and many kinds of miracles. And he proved it by giving people gifts through the Holy Spirit, just as he wanted.
5 God did not choose angels to be the rulers of the new world that was coming. It is that future world we have been talking about.
6 It is written somewhere in the Scriptures,“Why is man important to you?Why do you take care of the son of man?
7 For a short time you made him lower than the angels.But you crowned him with glory and honor.
