Hebrews 2:10-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 For in bringing many sons to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God—all things exist for Him and through Him—should make the source[a] of their salvation perfect through sufferings.(A) 11 For the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father.[b] That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers,(B) 12 saying:
13 Again, I will trust in Him.[d] And again, Here I am with the children God gave Me.(D)[e]
14 Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through His death He might destroy the one holding the power of death—that is, the Devil(E)— 15 and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.(F) 16 For it is clear that He does not reach out to help angels, but to help Abraham’s offspring. 17 Therefore, He had to be like His brothers in every way, so that He could become a merciful and faithful high priest in service[f] to God, to make propitiation(G) for the sins of the people.(H) 18 For since He Himself was tested and has suffered, He is able to help those who are tested.

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)
