Hebrews 2:10-18
King James Version
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

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)

English Standard Version
10 For it (A)was fitting that he, (B)for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons (C)to glory, should make the (D)founder of their salvation (E)perfect through suffering. 11 For (F)he who sanctifies and (G)those who are sanctified (H)all have one source.[a] That is why he is not ashamed to call them (I)brothers,[b] 12 saying,
(J)“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the (K)congregation I will sing your praise.”
13 And again,
(L)“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise (O)partook of the same things, that (P)through death he might (Q)destroy (R)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who (S)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he (T)helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had (U)to be made like his brothers in every respect, (V)so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest (W)in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered (X)when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Christian Standard Bible
10 For in bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God—for whom and through whom all things exist—should make the pioneer[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 and sisters,(B) 12 saying:
I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters;
I will sing hymns to you in the congregation.[c](C)
13 Again, I will trust in him.[d] And again, Here I am with the children God gave me.[e](D)
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.(G) 17 Therefore, he had to be like his brothers and sisters in every way, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in matters[f] pertaining to God, to make atonement[g](H) for the sins of the people.(I) 18 For since he himself has suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

10 For (A)it was fitting for Him, (B)for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to (C)perfect the [a](D)author of their salvation through sufferings. 11 For both He who (E)sanctifies and those who (F)are [b]sanctified are all (G)from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them (H)brethren, 12 saying,
“(I)I will proclaim Your name to My brethren,
In the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.”
13 And again,
“(J)I will put My trust in Him.”
And again,
“(K)Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.”
14 Therefore, since the children share in [c](L)flesh and blood, (M)He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that (N)through death He might render powerless (O)him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might free those who through (P)fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16 For assuredly He does not [d]give help to angels, but He gives help to the [e]descendant of Abraham. 17 Therefore, He [f]had (Q)to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might (R)become a merciful and faithful (S)high priest in (T)things pertaining to God, to (U)make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For since He Himself was (V)tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.
