* will recount the gracious deeds of the L+,-$ the praiseworthy acts of the L+,-$ because of all that the L+,- has done for us$ and the great favour to the house of *srael that he has shown them according to his mercy$ according to the abundance of his steadfast love. .For he said$ /"urely they are my people$ children who will not deal falsely01 and he became their saviour 2in all their distress. *t was no messenger or angel but his presence that saved them1 in his love and in his pity he redeemed them1

*t was fitting that &od$ for whom and through whom all things e5ist$ in bringing many children to glory$ should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. For this reason Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters$ saying$ /* will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters$ in the midst of the congregation * will praise you.0 8nd again$ /* will put my trust in him.0 8nd again$ /9ere am * and the children whom &od has given me.0

3:

"ince$ therefore$ the children share flesh and blood$ he himself likewise shared the same things$ so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death$ that is$ the devil$ and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of death. For it is clear that he did not come to help angels$ but the descendants of 8braham. Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect$ so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of &od$ to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people. #ecause he himself was tested by what he suffered$ he is able to help those who are being tested
3; 3< 3) 3.
