1 Therefore, it is necessary that we with more diligence keep the things which we have heard, so that we do not fall.
2 For if the word spoken by the ministry of angels was steadfast and every rebellion and disobedience received a just recompense of reward,
3 how shall we escape, if we belittle such great saving health? Which, having begun to be published by the Lord, has been confirmed unto us by those that heard him,
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders and with diverse miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit, distributing them according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels he has not subjected the world to come, of which we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou dost visit him?
7 Thou didst make him a little lower than the angels; thou didst crown him with glory and honour and didst set him over the works of thy hands.
