Hebrews 2:14-17
English Standard Version
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise (A)partook of the same things, that (B)through death he might (C)destroy (D)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who (E)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he (F)helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had (G)to be made like his brothers in every respect, (H)so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest (I)in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

Hebrews 2:14-17
New International Version
14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(A) he too shared in their humanity(B) so that by his death he might break the power(C) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(D)— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(E) of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(F) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[a](G) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(H) and faithful high priest(I) in service to God,(J) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(K)
