Hebrews 2:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 [a]And again, (A)I will put my [b]trust in him. And again, (B)[c]Behold, here am I, and the children which God hath given me.
14 Forasmuch then as the children are [d]partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, that he might destroy (C)through death, him that had the [e]power of death, that is, the [f]devil,
15 And that he might deliver all them, which for fear of [g]death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
