New Testament

Hebrews 2:1-7 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. So we must pay more careful attention to what we have heard. Then we will not drift away from it.

2. Even the message God spoke through angels had to be obeyed. Every time people broke the Law, they were punished. Every time they didn't obey, they were punished.

3. Then how will we escape if we don't pay attention to God's great salvation? The Lord first announced that salvation. Those who heard him gave us the message about it.

4. God gave witness to it through signs and wonders. He gave witness through different kinds of miracles. He also gave witness through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He gave them out as it pleased him.

5. God has not put angels in charge of the world that is going to come. We are talking about that world.

6. There is a place where someone has given witness to it. He said, "What is a human being that you think about him? What is the son of man that you take care of him?

7. You made him a little lower than the angels. You placed on him a crown of glory and honor.
