002:012 as when He says: "I will proclaim Thy name to My brothers: in the midst of the congregation I will hymn Thy praises;"
002:013 and again, "As for Me, I will be one whose trust reposes in God;" and again, "Here am I, and here are the children God has given Me."
002:014 Since then the children referred to are all alike sharers in perishable human nature, He Himself also, in the same way, took on Him a share of it, in order that through death He might render powerless him who had authority over death, that is, the Devil,
002:015 and might set at liberty all those who through fear of death
had been subject to lifelong slavery.
002:016 For assuredly it is not to angels that He is continually reaching
a helping hand, but it is to the descendants of Abraham.
002:017 And for this purpose it was necessary that in all respects He should be made to resemble His brothers, so that He might become a compassionate and faithful High Priest in things relating to God, in order to atone for the sins of the people.
002:018 For inasmuch as He has Himself felt the pain of temptation

tempted and tried.
003:001 Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a
heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle
and High Priest whose followers we profess to be.
003:002 How faithful He was to Him who appointed Him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house!
003:003 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, in so far as he who has built a house has higher honour than the house itself.
