* But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels , Jesus , on account of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor ; that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one . * For it became him , for whom are all things , and through whom are all things , in bringing many sons to glory , to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings . * For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one ; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren ; * saying , "I will declare thy name to my brethren , in the midst of the congregation will I sing praise to thee ." * And again , "I will put my trust in him ;" and again , "Behold , I , and the children which God gave me ." * Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood , he also himself in like manner shared in the same , that through death he might bring to nought him who had the power of death , that is , the Devil , * and might deliver those who , through fear of death , were all their life –time subject to bondage . * For surely he doth not help angels , but he helpeth the offspring of Abraham . * Whence it was right for him to be in all respects made like to his brethren , that he might become a merciful and faithful high –priest in things pertaining to God , to make propitiation for the sins of the people .
