Ibrani 2:14-18

2:14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he likewise shared in ¹  their humanity, ²  so that through death he could destroy ³  the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil), 2:15 and set free those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death. 2:16 For surely his concern is not for angels, but he is concerned for Abraham’s descendants. 2:17 Therefore he had ⁴  to be made like his brothers and sisters ⁵  in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement ⁶  for the sins of the people. 2:18 For since he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

Ibrani 4:15--5:3

4:15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin. 4:16 Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help. ⁷ 

5:1 For every high priest is taken from among the people ⁸  and appointed ⁹  to represent them before God, ¹⁰  to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 5:2 He is able to deal compassionately with those who are ignorant and erring, since he also is subject to weakness, 5:3 and for this reason he is obligated to make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people.

[2:14]  ¹ tn Or “partook of” (this is a different word than the one in v. 14a).

[2:14]  ² tn Grk “the same.”

[2:14]  ³ tn Or “break the power of,” “reduce to nothing.”

[2:17]  ⁴ tn Or “he was obligated.”

[2:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

[2:17]  ⁶ tn Or “propitiation.”

[4:16]  ⁷ tn Grk “for timely help.”

[5:1]  ⁸ tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”

[5:1]  ⁹ tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

[5:1]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”
