1. Therefore ought we more diligently to observe the things which we have heard, lest perhaps we should let them slip.
2. For if the word, spoken by angels, became steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward:
3. How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? which having begun to be declared by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard him.
4. God also bearing them witness by signs, and wonders, and divers miracles, and distributions of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will.
5. For God hath not subjected unto angels the world to come, whereof we speak.
6. But one in a certain place hath testified, saying: What is man, that thou art mindful of him: or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
7. Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels: thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast set him over the works of thy hands:
8. Thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in that he hath subjected all things to him, he left nothing not subject to him. But now we see not as yet all things subject to him.
