Hebrews 2:1 in context

The verses around it, from Hebrews 2.

1 We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

2 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,

3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

4 and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.

5 For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
