Hebrews 2:3 In-Context
1
We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
2
For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,
3
how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.
4
God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
5
It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
