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 message declared through angels was valid, and every transgression or disobedience received a just penalty,

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

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