Try Hebrews 2:15 as well as Oracula Sibyllina  3.277   Philo Judaeus 
Phil.Som 1.10.5  Plutarchus Biogr. 108.E.9; 345.B.  Chionis Epistulae 
14.5.10  Flavius Josephus BJ 7.342.3

There's also the trope on fear of death and its power to enslave in 
Euripides Or. 1522; Lucretius De rer..nat. 1:.102-26; Cicero Tusc. Disp. 
1 Seneca Ep. 24; 30.17; Epictetus Diss. 1.17.25; 1.27.7-10; 2:18.30.
