Hebrews 1:6-2:4
New King James Version
6 But when He again brings (A)the firstborn into the world, He says:
(B)“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels He says:
(C)“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But to the Son He says:
(D)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A [a]scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, (E)has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
10 And:
(F)“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 (G)They will perish, but You remain;
And (H)they will all grow old like a garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold them up,
And they will be changed.
But You are the (I)same,
And Your years will not fail.”
13 But to which of the angels has He ever said:
(J)“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?
14 (K)Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will (L)inherit salvation?
Do Not Neglect Salvation
2 Therefore we must give [b]the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if the word (M)spoken through angels proved steadfast, and (N)every transgression and disobedience received a just [c]reward, 3 (O)how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, (P)which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was (Q)confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 4 (R)God also bearing witness (S)both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and (T)gifts[d] of the Holy Spirit, (U)according to His own will?

New International Version
Hebrews 1:6-2:4
New International Version
6 And again, when God brings his firstborn(A) into the world,(B) he says,
7 In speaking of the angels he says,
8 But about the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;(E)
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions(F)
by anointing you with the oil(G) of joy.”[c](H)
10 He also says,
“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.(I)
11 They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.(J)
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,(K)
and your years will never end.”[d](L)
13 To which of the angels did God ever say,
14 Are not all angels ministering spirits(P) sent to serve those who will inherit(Q) salvation?(R)
Warning to Pay Attention
2 We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.(S) 2 For since the message spoken(T) through angels(U) was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,(V) 3 how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?(W) This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord,(X) was confirmed to us by those who heard him.(Y) 4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles,(Z) and by gifts of the Holy Spirit(AA) distributed according to his will.(AB)
