For to which of the angels did He ever say,
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”? And again,“I will be a Father to Him
And He shall be a Son to Me”?

For He did not subject to angels the world to come, concerning which we are speaking.

“Therefore I was angry with this generation,

By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.

And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised,

See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.
