I'm putting verse 15 here with verse 14 from last week so that you can see the whole thought.
Heb 2:14-15 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
We are subject to bondage because of our fear of death. Jesus Christ took on human flesh and blood in order to suffer for sin and in so doing destroys and devil's ability to drive us the despair of death. Ultimately the devil and death will be thrown into the lake of fire and be forever gone.
If you would like to see the entire list of recommended verses from Hebrews to memorize in 2013, check here.
We've also produced a Bible study guide on the book of Hebrews you may be interested in. You can find it here.
