but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower[a] than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God[b] he might taste death for everyone.(A)

10 It was fitting that God,[c] for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.(B) 11 For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father.[d] For this reason Jesus[e] is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,(C) 12 saying,

“I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters;
    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.”(D)

13 And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”

And again,

“Here am I and the children whom God has given me.”(E)

14 Since, therefore, the children share flesh and blood, he himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,(F) 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of death.(G) 16 For it is clear that he did not come to help angels but the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people.(H)

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,

“I will put my trust in him.”[c](J)

And again he says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”[d](K)

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. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(Q) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[e](R) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(S) and faithful high priest(T) in service to God,(U) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(V)

who, though he existed in the form of God,
    did not regard equality with God
    as something to be grasped,(A)
but emptied himself,
    taking the form of a slave,
    assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,(B)
    he humbled himself
    and became obedient to the point of death—
    even death on a cross.(C)

Therefore God exalted him even more highly
    and gave him the name
    that is above every other name,(D)
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
    every knee should bend,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(E)
