Hebrews 2:1-8 ▼

1 Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

2 For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty,

3 how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first communicated through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

4 while God confirmed their witness with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

5 For he did not put the world to come, about which we are speaking, under the control of angels.

6 Instead someone testified somewhere: |What is man that you think of him or the son of man that you care for him?

7 You made him lower than the angels for a little while. You crowned him with glory and honor.

8 You put all things under his control.| For when he put all things under his control, he left nothing outside of his control. At present we do not yet see all things under his control,
