Hebrews 2:14-18 Since then the children mentioned share our mortal nature, He too took on Himself a full share of the same, in order that He by His death might put a stop to the power of him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Since then the children mentioned share our mortal nature, He too took on Himself a full share of the same, in order that He by His death might put a stop to the power of him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, ¹⁵ and set at liberty those who all their lifetime had been subject to slavery because of their dread of death. ¹⁶ For of course it is not angels but descendants of Abraham that He is to help. ¹⁷ Therefore He had to be made like His brothers, so that He could be a sympathetic High Priest, as well as a faithful one, in things relating to God, in order to atone for the people's sins. ¹⁸ For inasmuch as He has suffered Himself by being tempted, He is able to give immediate help to any that are tempted.
