2 For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,

2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution,

2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

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.

2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,

2 The teaching God spoke through angels was shown to be true, and anyone who did not follow it or obey it received the punishment that was earned.

2 For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;

2 For if the word which was spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received just retribution,

2 After all, the message that the angels brought was reliable, and every violation and act of disobedience was properly punished.

2 For if the message spoken through angels was legally binding and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment,

2 For if the word spoken through angels was binding and every transgression and act of disobedience received a just penalty,

2 Even the message God spoke through angels had to be obeyed. Every time people broke the Law, they were punished. Every time they didn’t obey, they were punished.

2 For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,
