001:012 and, as though they were a mantle Thou wilt roll them up;
yes, like a garment, and they will undergo change.
But Thou art the same, and Thy years will never come to an end."
001:013 To which of the angels has He ever said, "Sit at My right hand
till I make Thy foes a footstool for Thy feet"?
001:014 Are not all angels spirits that serve Him--whom He sends out
to render service for the benefit of those who, before long,
will inherit salvation?
002:001 For this reason we ought to pay the more earnest heed
to the things which we have heard, for fear we should drift
away from them.
002:002 For if the message delivered through angels proved to be true,
and every transgression and act of disobedience met
with just retribution,
002:003 how shall *we* escape if we are indifferent to a salvation
as great as that now offered to us? This, after having first
of all been announced by the Lord Himself, had its truth made
sure to us by those who heard Him,
002:004 while God corroborated their testimony by signs and marvels
and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit
distributed in accordance with His own will.
002:005 It is not to angels that God has assigned the sovereignty
of that coming world, of which we speak.
002:006 But, as we know, a writer has solemnly said, "How poor a creature
is man, and yet Thou dost remember him, and a son of man,
and yet Thou dost come to him!
002:007 Thou hast made him only a little inferior to the angels;
with glory and honour Thou hast crowned him, and hast set
him to govern the works of Thy hands.
002:008 Thou hast put everything in subjection under his feet."
