Hebrews 2:16-18
Evangelical Heritage Version
16 For surely he was not concerned with helping angels but with helping Abraham’s offspring.[a] 17 For this reason, he had to become like his brothers in every way, in order that he would be a merciful and faithful high priest in the things pertaining to God, so that he could pay[b] for the sins of the people. 18 Indeed, because he suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
