Paul said that Jesus ‘ partook of blood and flesh ’ that “through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil; and that he might emancipate all those who for fear of death were subject to slavery all through their lives. ”
Pauluse sõnade järgi on Jeesus „liha ja vere omaks võtnud, et ta surma kaudu kõrvaldaks selle, kellel on võimus surma üle – see tähendab kuradi –, ja vabastaks need, kes surma kartes olid kogu eluaja orjapõlves ”.
