1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to know about the spiritual gifts.

Salvation through the Lord Jesus

1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which were taught us. We must be careful so that we do not stray from the path of truth.
Hebrews 2: 1

2 The teachings (the law) which were given through the angels of God were proved true. And whenever people went against that teaching and disobeyed that teaching, they received appropriate punishment.
Hebrews 2: 2

3 The salvation we have received is great. So if we live our lives thinking that this salvation is of no importance, then we are bound to be punished. It was the Lord who first told the people about this salvation. And those who heard him testified that this salvation is real.
Hebrews 2: 3

4 God also gave proof of this by means of miracles, great signs, and many wonders. And he gave proof of this to the people through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He gave these gifts according to his will.
Hebrews 2: 4
