Paul went on to say: “If the word spoken through angels proved to be firm, and every transgression and disobedient act received a retribution in harmony with justice; how shall we escape if we have neglected a salvation of such greatness in that it began to be spoken through our Lord and was verified for us by those who heard him, while God joined in bearing witness with signs as well as portents and various powerful works and with distributions of holy spirit according to his will? ”
Paulus meneruskan, ” Karena jika firman yang disampaikan melalui para malaikat itu teguh, dan setiap pelanggaran dan tindakan ketidaktaatan mendapat ganjaran selaras dengan keadilan; bagaimana kita akan luput jika kita mengabaikan keselamatan yang begitu besar, mengingat hal itu mula - mula disampaikan melalui Tuan kita dan diteguhkan bagi kita oleh mereka yang mendengar dia, sedangkan Allah ikut memberikan kesaksian dengan tanda - tanda maupun mukjizat - mukjizat dan berbagai perbuatan yang penuh kuasa dan dengan membagikan roh kudus sesuai dengan kehendaknya? ”
