Hebrews 2:14-18
New English Translation

14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he likewise shared in[a] their humanity,[b] so that through death he could destroy[c] the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil), 15 and set free those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death. 16 For surely his concern is not for angels, but he is concerned for Abraham’s descendants. 17 Therefore he had[d] to be made like his brothers and sisters[e] in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement[f] for the sins of the people. 18 For since he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

Hebrews 2:14-18
Christian Standard Bible

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(A)— 15 and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.(B) 16 For it is clear that he does not reach out to help angels, but to help Abraham’s offspring.(C) 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[a] pertaining to God, to make atonement[b](D) for the sins of the people.(E) 18 For since he himself has suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
