14Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, so that through death he might nullify the one who has the power of death—that is, the devil,

15and free those who, through fear of death, were subject to slavery all their lives.

16For surely it is not angels that he helps, but the offspring of Abraham.

17Therefore he had to become like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

18For because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
