1. Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away from them.
2. For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
3. how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;
4. God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.
5. For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak.
6. But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
7. Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands:
8. Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet.
