Hebrews 2:14-18
2:14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he likewise shared in 1 their humanity, 2 so that through death he could destroy 3 the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil),
2:15 and set free those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death.
2:16 For surely his concern is not for angels, but he is concerned for Abraham’s descendants.
2:17 Therefore he had 4 to be made like his brothers and sisters 5 in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement 6 for the sins of the people.
2:18 For since he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
