What of the Flesh & Blood verse?

"What is the significance of the statement that the children are partakers of flesh and blood?

The connection shows clearly, but we have also a hint in (1 Corinthians 15:50): "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption."
Flesh and blood is corruptible; it has to do with death.
The children are partakers of flesh and blood, that is, they are subject to death; therefore Christ took part of the same, and tasted death for every man, in order that He might deliver the children from death."
E.J.Waggoner
