Hebrews 2:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Forasmuch then as the children are [a]partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, that he might destroy (A)through death, him that had the [b]power of death, that is, the [c]devil,
15 And that he might deliver all them, which for fear of [d]death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 [e]For he in no sort took on him the [f]Angels’ nature, but he took on him the [g]seed of Abraham.
