Hebrews 2:14-18
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Therefore, since the children share in [a](A)flesh and blood, (B)He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that (C)through death He might render powerless (D)him who had the [b]power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might free those who through (E)fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16 For assuredly He does not [c]give help to angels, but He gives help to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, He [d]had (F)to be made like His brothers in all things, so that He might (G)become a merciful and faithful (H)high priest in (I)things pertaining to God, to (J)make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For since He Himself was (K)tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to help those who are tempted.

Hebrews 2:14-18
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 Therefore, since the children share flesh and blood,[a] he also shared the same flesh and blood, so that through death he could destroy the one who had the power of death (that is, the Devil) 15 and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death. 16 For surely he was not concerned with helping angels but with helping Abraham’s offspring.[b] 17 For this reason, he had to become like his brothers in every way, in order that he would be a merciful and faithful high priest in the things pertaining to God, so that he could pay[c] for the sins of the people. 18 Indeed, because he suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
