Hebrews 2:1-8 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. This is why it’s necessary for us to pay more attention to what we have heard, or else we may drift away from it.

2. If the message that was spoken by angels was reliable, and every offense and act of disobedience received an appropriate consequence,

3. how will we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? It was first announced through the Lord, and then it was confirmed by those who heard him.

4. God also vouched for their message with signs, amazing things, various miracles, and gifts from the Holy Spirit, which were handed out the way he wanted.

5. God didn’t put the world that is coming (the world we are talking about) under the angels’ control.

6. Instead, someone declared somewhere, What is humanity that you think about them? Or what are the human beings that you care about them?

7. For a while you made them lower than angels. You crowned the human beings with glory and honor.

8. You put everything under their control. When he puts everything under their control, he doesn’t leave anything out of control. But right now, we don’t see everything under their control yet.
