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