1. We must give our full attention to what we were told, so that we won't drift away.
2. The message spoken by angels proved to be true, and all who disobeyed or rejected it were punished as they deserved.
3. So if we refuse this great way of being saved, how can we hope to escape? The Lord himself was the first to tell about it, and people who heard the message proved to us that it was true.
4. God himself showed that his message was true by performing all kinds of powerful miracles and wonders. He also gave his Holy Spirit to anyone he chose to.
5. We know that God did not put the future world under the power of angels.
6. Somewhere in the Scriptures someone says to God,“What makes you careabout us humans?Why are you concernedfor weaklings such as we?
7. You made us lowerthan the angelsfor a while.Yet you have crowned uswith glory and honour.
8. And you have put everythingunder our power!”God has put everything under our power and has not left anything out of our power. But we still don't see it all under our power.
9. What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels. Because of God's wonderful kindness, Jesus died for everyone. And now that Jesus has suffered and died, he is crowned with glory and honour!
