1 For this reason it is necessary for us to pay especially close attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
2 For if the word spoken through angels proved to be firm, and every violation and disobedience received a just payback,
3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? It was first spoken through the Lord and confirmed to us by those who heard.
4 At the same time, God was testifying by signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, according to His will.
5 For it is not to angels that God has subjected the olam ha-ba —about which we speak.
6 But somewhere someone has testified, saying, “What is man, that You are mindful of him, or the son of man, that You care for him?
7 For a little while, You made him lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.
