Bringing Many Sons to Glory

10 For it was fitting for Him, (D)for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation (E)perfect through sufferings. 11 For (F)both He who [b]sanctifies and those who are being sanctified (G)are all of one, for which reason (H)He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying:

(I)“I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”

13 And again:

(J)“I will put My trust in Him.”

And again:

(K)“Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”

14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He (L)Himself likewise shared in the same, (M)that through death He might destroy him who had the power of (N)death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who (O)through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For indeed He does not [c]give aid to angels, but He does [d]give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had (P)to be made like His brethren, that He might be (Q)a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor(A) because he suffered death,(B) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.(C)

10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,(D) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.(E) 11 Both the one who makes people holy(F) and those who are made holy(G) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[a](H) 12 He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
    in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[b](I)

13 And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”[c](J)

And again he says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”[d](K)

14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(L) he too shared in their humanity(M) so that by his death he might break the power(N) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(O) 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(P) of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(Q) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[e](R) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(S) and faithful high priest(T) in service to God,(U) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(V)
