Hebrews
Hebrews 2:10–15
10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the authord of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. 12He says:
“I will proclaim Your name to My brothers;
I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”e
13And again:
“I will put My trust in Him.”f
And once again:
“Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”g
14Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil, 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
