So [then], we [Christians] should pay closer attention to the things we have heard, so that we do not drift away from [believing and practicing] them. For if the message spoken through angels proved to be binding [Note: This is a reference to the law of Moses. See Acts 7:53; Gal. 3:19], and every violation [of it] and disobedience [to it] received a just penalty, how will we escape [punishment] if we neglect such a great salvation? [For it was] first announced [to people] by the Lord and then confirmed to us [i.e., the writer and other Christians] by those who heard Him [i.e., the original apostles].
Pay careful attention so that you do not refuse [to hear] God when He speaks to you. [See verse 9].
