A Warning Against Drifting Away (Hebrews 2:1-4) New Living and Good News Translations

NEW LIVING TRANSLATION
1  So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.
2  For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished.
3  So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak?
4  And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose.

GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION
1  That is why we must hold on all the more firmly to the truths we have heard, so that we will not be carried away. 
2  The message given to our ancestors by the angels was shown to be true, and those who did not follow it or obey it received the punishment they deserved. 
3  How, then, shall we escape if we pay no attention to such a great salvation? The Lord himself first announced this salvation, and those who heard him proved to us that it is true. 
4  At the same time God added his witness to theirs by performing all kinds of miracles and wonders and by distributing the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his will.
