Hebrews 2:14-16
American Standard Version
14 Since then the children are sharers in [a]flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he [b]might bring to nought him that [c]had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and [d]might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 [e]For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham.

Hebrews 2:14-16
New International Version
14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(A) he too shared in their humanity(B) so that by his death he might break the power(C) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(D)— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(E) of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(F)
