NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ We see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels and crowned with glory and honor for suffering death. By the grace of God he tasted death for every man. ¹⁰ It was appropriate that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, should bring many sons to glory, to make the Chief Agent of their salvation perfect through suffering. ¹¹ Both he who sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all from one. For this reason Jesus is not ashamed to call them »brothers«. ¹² He says: »I will declare your name to my brothers; in the middle of the congregation I will sing praises to you.« ¹³ And again: »I will put my trust in him.« And again: »Behold, the children that Jehovah has given me.« (Isaiah 8:18) ¹⁴ Since the »children« are partakers of flesh and blood, he also took part of the same things, that through death he might destroy him that had the power to cause death, [Satan] the Devil. ¹⁵ And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. ¹⁶ He does not help the angels, but he helps the seed of Abraham. ¹⁷ This means that he had to become like his »brothers« in every way, in order to be their faithful and merciful High Priest in his service to God, in order to offer a propitiatory sacrifice (pay atonement) (to make reconciliation) for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ Since he has suffered and was tested in every way; he is able to help those who are being tested.
