Hebrews 2:1-7 New English Translation (NET)

1. Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

2. For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty,

3. how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first communicated through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him,

4. while God confirmed their witness with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

5. For he did not put the world to come, about which we are speaking, under the control of angels.

6. Instead someone testified somewhere: “What is man that you think of him or the son of man that you care for him?

7. You made him lower than the angels for a little while. You crowned him with glory and honor.
