Hebrews 2:10-18
American Standard Version
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, [a]in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the [b]author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying,
[c]I will declare thy name unto my brethren,
In the midst of the [d]congregation will I sing thy praise.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, [e]Behold, I and the children whom God hath given me. 14 Since then the children are sharers in [f]flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he [g]might bring to nought him that [h]had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and [i]might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 [j]For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 [k]For [l]in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.

New International Version
Hebrews 2:10-18
New International Version
10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,(A) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.(B) 11 Both the one who makes people holy(C) and those who are made holy(D) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[a](E) 12 He says,
“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[b](F)
13 And again,
And again he says,
14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(I) he too shared in their humanity(J) so that by his death he might break the power(K) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(L)— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(M) of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(N) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[e](O) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(P) and faithful high priest(Q) in service to God,(R) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(S) 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.(T)
