Hebrews 2:16 in Context — Hebrews 2
14 Así que, por cuanto los hijos participaron de carne y sangre, él también participó de lo mismo, para destruir por la muerte al que tenía el imperio de la muerte, es á saber, al diablo,
15 Y librar á los que por el temor de la muerte estaban por toda la vida sujetos á servidumbre.
16 Porque ciertamente no tomó á los ángeles, sino á la simiente de Abraham tomó.
17 Por lo cual, debía ser en todo semejante á los hermanos, para venir á ser misericordioso y fiel Pontífice en lo que es para con Dios, para expiar los pecados del pueblo.
18 Porque en cuanto él mismo padeció siendo tentado, es poderoso para socorrer á los que son tentados.
