For this reason he [Jesus] had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he

is able to help those who are being tempted.

world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all
that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride
of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing
away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever"
