Hebrews 2:14-18
World English Bible
14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring[a] of Abraham. 17 Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he himself has suffered being 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.
