"Lord, of old you established the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you remain;
all of them will grow old like a garment.
You will roll them up like a cloak;
like a garment they will be changed.
But you are the same, and your years will have no end."
To which of the angels has God ever said,
"Sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool"?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to serve those who are to inherit salvation?
In view of this, we must attend all the more to what we have heard, lest we drift away. For if the word spoken through angels stood unchanged, and all transgression and disobedience received its due punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore a salvation as great as ours? Announced first by the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who had heard him.
