Hebrews 2:2

Hebrews 2:2

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 For if the word spoken by angels. The Jewish law. See notes on Acts 7:53 Ga 3:19. The law was given through the medium of angels, as was confessed by the Jews. See Josephus ("Antiq". 15:5, sec. 3). Was steadfast. Confirmed by a penalty upon transgressors. And every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward. Nothing is plainer in all Jewish history than that obedience to the law was rewarded and disobedience punished.
