Translation 2 For if the word spoken through angels showed itself to be [a] reliable and every transgression and disobedience received a just [b] penalty, 3 how will we escape if [c] we neglect such a great salvation [d] - a salvation that [e] at the beginning was spoken [f] through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who ...
