14 Since the children have flesh and blood,¹ he too shared in their humanity² so that by his death he might destroy³ him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil⁴-- 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear⁵ of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants.⁶ 17 For this reason he had to be made like his brothers⁷ in every way, in order that he might become a merciful⁸ and faithful high priest⁹ in service to God,¹⁰ and that he might make atonement for^a the sins of the people.¹¹ 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.¹²
