¹⁶ For clearly He does not ^[a]give help to angels, but He gives help to the ^[b]descendants of Abraham. ¹⁷ Therefore, in all things He ^[c]had ^(A)to be made like His brothers so that He might ^(B)become a merciful and faithful ^(C)high priest in ^(D)things pertaining to God, to ^(E)make ^[d]propitiation for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For since He Himself was ^[e](F)tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are ^[f]tempted.

¹⁴ Therefore, since we have a great ^(A)high priest who has ^(B)passed through the heavens, Jesus ^(C)the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our ^(D)confession. ¹⁵ For we do not have ^(E)a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been ^(F)tempted in all things just as we are, yet ^(G)without sin.
