Hebrews 2:16 in Context — Hebrews 2
14 Portanto, uma vez que os filhos compartilham da carne e do sangue, também ele, semelhantemente, participou das mesmas coisas, a fim de pela morte aniquilar ao que tinha o poder da morte, isto é, o diabo;
15 e libertar a todos os que, por medo da morte, estavam sujeitos à servidão durante a vida toda.
16 Pois, evidentemente, não é aos anjos que ele ajuda, mas sim, ajuda à descendência de Abraão.
17 Por isso era necessário que em tudo ele se tornasse semelhante aos irmãos, para ser misericordioso e fiel Sumo Sacerdote nas coisas [relativas] a Deus, para fazer sacrifício de perdão dos pecados do povo.
18 Pois, naquilo em que ele mesmo sofreu ao ser tentado, ele pode socorrer aos que são tentados.
