“and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”
Hebrews 2:15 (BSB)
Context Reading
13And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.” 14Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil, 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham. 17For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.
