1 For this ought we to hold above measure to the things heard, lest we slip away. 2 For if the word spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and bad instruction received the just payment of reward; 3 How shall we escape, having neglected such great salvation; which at the beginning taken to be spoken by the Lord, by them having heard was made firm to us; 4 God confirming the testimony, together with signs and wonders, and various powers, and partitions of the Holy Spirit, according to his will. 5 For not to the angels has he subjected the habitable globe about to be, of which we speak. 6 And somewhere a certain one testified, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him? or the son of man, that thou reviewest him? 7 Thou didst render him some little while less than angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst place him over the work of thine hands: Hebrews 2:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation.
