Hebrews 2:16-18
New Matthew Bible
16 For in no place does he take on him the angels, but he takes the seed of Abraham on him. 17 Therefore it was fitting for him to be made like his brethren in all things, so that he could be merciful, and a faithful high priest in things concerning God, in order to purge the people’s sins. 18 For in that he himself suffered and was tried, he is able to succour those who are tried.

New International Version
16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(A) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[a](B) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(C) and faithful high priest(D) in service to God,(E) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(F) 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.(G)
