Hebrews 2:2

2:2 For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty,

Hebrews 12:11

12:11 Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.

sn The message spoken through angels refers to the OT law, which according to Jewish tradition was mediated to Moses through angels (cf. Deut 33:2; Ps 68:17-18; Acts 7:38, 53; Gal 3:19; and Jub. 1:27, 29; Josephus, Ant. 15.5.3 [15.136]).

tn Grk “through angels became valid and every violation.”

tn Grk “all discipline at the time does not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow.”

tn Grk “the peaceful fruit of righteousness.”
