Context of Hebrews 2:4
2For if the word which was spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received just retribution, 3how shall we escape if we have been negligent of so great salvation, which, having had its commencement in being spoken [of] by the Lord, has been confirmed to us by those who have heard; God bearing, besides, witness with [them] to [it], both by signs and wonders, and various acts of power, and distributions of [the] Holy Spirit, according to his will? 5For he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which is to come, of which we speak; 6but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?
