14 Since Children have Flesh and Blood,
He too Shared in their Humanity
So that by His Death He might Break the Power
Of him who holds the Power of Death--
That is the Devil--
15 And Free those
Who all their lives were Held in Slavery
By their Fear of Death.
16 For surely it is not angels He helps,
But Abraham's Descendants.
17 for this Reason He had to be made like them,
Fully Human in every way,
In order that He might become
A Merciful and Faithful High Priest
In Service to God,
And that He might make Atonement
For the Sins of the People
18 Because He Himself Suffered
When He was Tempted,
He is Able to Help those who are Being Tempted.
(Hebrews 2:14-18, NIV)
