11 For (A)he who sanctifies and (B)those who are sanctified (C)all have one source.[a] That is why he is not ashamed to call them (D)brothers,[b] 12 saying,

(E)“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
    in the midst of the (F)congregation I will sing your praise.”

13 And again,

(G)“I will put my trust in him.”

And again,

(H)“Behold, I and the children (I)God has given me.”

14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise (J)partook of the same things, that (K)through death he might (L)destroy (M)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who (N)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he (O)helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had (P)to be made like his brothers in every respect, (Q)so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest (R)in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered (S)when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Jesus Greater Than Moses

Therefore, holy brothers,[c] you who share in (T)a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, (U)the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him who appointed him, (V)just as Moses also was faithful in all God's[d] house. For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. (For every house is built by someone, but (W)the builder of all things is God.) (X)Now Moses was faithful in all God's house (Y)as a servant, (Z)to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God's house as (AA)a son. And (AB)we are his house, if indeed we (AC)hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.[e]
