"For if a word that was spoken through the Angels has been made firm, and every transgression and disobedience has received the recompense of a just retribution, "
— Hebrews 2:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;”
“For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; ”
“For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;”
“For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty,”
“For if the word spoken by angels became steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward:”
“Because if the word which came through the angels was fixed, and in the past every evil act against God's orders was given its full punishment;”
“For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;”
For this reason, it is necessary for us to observe more thoroughly the things that we have heard, lest we let them slip away.
For if a word that was spoken through the Angels has been made firm, and every transgression and disobedience has received the recompense of a just retribution,
in what way might we escape, if we neglect such a great salvation? For though initially it had begun to be described by the Lord, it was confirmed among us by those who heard him,
with God testifying to it by signs and wonders, and by various miracles, and by the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, in accord with his own will.
For God did not subject the future world, about which we are speaking, to the Angels.
