Hebrews 2:14-18
Wycliffe Bible
14 Therefore for children communed to flesh and blood, and he also took part of the same, that by death he should destroy him that had lordship of death, that is to say, the devil,
15 and that he should deliver them that by dread of death [and should deliver them that by dread of death], by all life were bound to servage.
16 And he took [to] never angels, but he took [to] the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore he ought to be likened to brethren by all things, that he should be made merciful and a faithful bishop to God, that he should be merciful to the trespasses of the people.
18 For in that thing in which he suffered, and was tempted, he is mighty to help also them that be tempted.

Hebrews 2:14-18
New Matthew Bible
14 Considering then that the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, in order to put down through death him that had lordship over death – that is to say, the devil – 15 and to deliver those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For in no place does he take on him the angels, but he takes the seed of Abraham on him. 17 Therefore it was fitting for him to be made like his brethren in all things, so that he could be merciful, and a faithful high priest in things concerning God, in order to purge the people’s sins. 18 For in that he himself suffered and was tried, he is able to succour those who are tried.

Hebrews 2:14-18
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Forasmuch then as the children are [a]partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, that he might destroy (A)through death, him that had the [b]power of death, that is, the [c]devil,
15 And that he might deliver all them, which for fear of [d]death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 [e]For he in no sort took on him the [f]Angels’ nature, but he took on him the [g]seed of Abraham.
17 [h]Wherefore in [i]all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be [j]merciful, and a [k]faithful high Priest in things concerning God, that he might make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he suffered, and was [l]tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.

Authorized (King James) Version
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
