- Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
- For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
- How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
- God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
- For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

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