Hebrews 2:9-15
New American Standard Bible
Jesus Briefly Humbled
9 But we do see Him who was (A)made [a]for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, (B)because of His suffering death (C)crowned with glory and honor, so that (D)by the grace of God He might (E)taste death (F)for everyone.
10 For (G)it was fitting for Him, (H)for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to (I)perfect the [b](J)originator of their salvation through sufferings. 11 For both He who (K)sanctifies and those who (L)are [c]sanctified are all (M)from one Father; for this reason He is not ashamed to call them (N)brothers and sisters, 12 saying,
“(O)I will proclaim Your name to My brothers,
In the midst of the assembly I will sing Your praise.”
13 And again,
“(P)I will put My trust in Him.”
And again,
“(Q)Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.”
14 Therefore, since the children share in [d](R)flesh and blood, (S)He Himself likewise also partook of the same, so that (T)through death He might destroy (U)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and free those who through (V)fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

Hebrews 2:9-15
New International Version
9 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,
And again he says,
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.
