Hebrews 2:15 Context
13And againe, I will put my trust in him: and againe, Behold, I, and the children which God hath giuen me. 14Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himselfe likewise took part of the same, that through death hee might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the deuill: 15And deliuer them, who through feare of death were all their life time subiect to bondage. 16For verely he tooke not on him the nature of Angels: but he tooke on him the seed of Abraham. 17Wherfore in all things it behooued him to bee made like vnto his brethren, that he might be a mercifull and faithfull high Priest, in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sinnes of the people.

Wesley's Notes for Hebrews 2:15
2:15 And deliver them, as many as through fear of death were all their lifetime, till then, subject to bondage - Every man who fears death is subject to bondage; is in a slavish, uncomfortable state. And every man fears death, more or less, who knows not Christ: death is unwelcome to him, if he knows what death is. But he delivers all true believers from this bondage.
