Do Not Neglect Salvation

1 Therefore we must give1 the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.  
2 For if the word aspoken through angels proved steadfast, and bevery transgression and disobedience received a just1 reward,  
3 ahow shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, bwhich at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was cconfirmed to us by those who heard Him,  
4 aGod also bearing witness bboth with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and cgifts of the Holy Spirit, daccording to His own will?  

The Son Made Lower than Angels

5 For He has not put athe world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.  
6 But one testified in a certain place, saying:
a“What is man that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man that You take care of him?

Hebrews 2:2

If the word spoken by angels - The law, (according to some), which was delivered by the mediation of angels, God frequently employing these to communicate his will to men. See Acts 7:53; and Galatians 3:19. But the apostle probably means those particular messages which God sent by angels, as in the case of Lot, Genesis 19:, and such like.

Was steadfast - Was so confirmed by the Divine authority, and so strict, that it would not tolerate any offense, but inflicted punishment on every act of transgression, every case in which the bounds laid down by the law, were passed over; and every act of disobedience in respect to the duties enjoined.

Received a just recompense - That kind and degree of punishment which the law prescribed for those who broke it.
