Hebrews 2:14-18 Therefore, since the children share in bodies of flesh and blood, Christ also, in the same way, took on a human body so that, through His death, He could destroy the dominion of him who had the power to cause death, that is, the devil.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Therefore, since the children share in [bodies of] flesh and blood, Christ also, in the same way, took on a human body so that, through His death, He could destroy [the dominion of] him who had the power to cause death, that is, the devil. ¹⁵ And [also He could] release all of those people who, because of their fear of death, were [kept] in bondage all their lives. ¹⁶ For certainly Christ does not [intend to] help angels, but He [intends to] help the descendants of Abraham [i.e., the Jews]. ¹⁷ So, for this reason, He had to become like His brothers in every way [i.e., except that He never sinned], so that He could become a merciful and faithful Head Priest in things related to God’s [service], [and] that He could provide a means of purifying [Lev. 16:30] for people’s sins [i.e., make atonement for them]. ¹⁸ For since He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is [also] able to help those who [suffer when they] are tempted.
