In Context

12The Psalmist wrote what Christ said to God about us becoming his brothers, in these words: I will proclaim to my brothers how awesome you are (OR, what you ◄ are like/have done►) [MTY]. I will sing praise to you in the presence of the congregation!

14So, since those whom God calls his children are all human beings [MTY], Jesus also became a human being just like them. The devil has the power to cause people to be afraid to die, but Christ became human in order that by his dying he might make the devil powerless.
