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? ”
Pāvils par to izteicās šādi: ” Ja caur eņģeļiem runātais vārds ir bijis stiprs, un katra pārkāpums un nepaklausība dabūjusi savu taisno atmaksu, kā mēs izbēgsim, tik dārgu pestīšanu nicinādami? To papriekšu ir sludinājis pats Kungs, un mums apstiprinājuši tie, kas to dzirdējuši, arī pašam Dievam liecību dodot ar zīmēm un brīnumiem un dažādiem vareniem darbiem un izdalot Svētā Gara dāvanas pēc sava prāta. ”
