10 For it was fitting to Him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, having brought many sons to glory, to make perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. 11 For both the One sanctifying and those being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying: “I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will sing Your praises.” 13 And again: “I will be trusting on Him.” And again: “Behold, I and the children whom God gave to Me.” 14 Therefore, since the children have shared in blood and flesh, He also likewise partook of the same things, so that through death He might render powerless the one having the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might set free those who all their time to live were subject to slavery through the fear of death. 16 For surely it is not the angels He lays hold of, but He lays hold of the seed of Abraham. 17 Hence it was necessary to be made like the brothers in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things relating to God, in order to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, having been tempted, He is able to help those being tempted.
