OT.filter - rwp freedom:

rwp@Galatians:5:1 @{With freedom} (\ti eleutherii\). Rather dative case instead of instrumental, "for freedom," "for the (article) freedom that belongs to us children of the freewoman" (4:31|). {Did Christ set us free} (\hmas Christos leuthersen\). Effective aorist active indicative of \eleuthero\ (from \erchomai\, to go, go free). {Stand fast therefore} (\stkete oun\). See on strkjv@Mark:3:31; strkjv@1Corinthians:16:13| for this late word from perfect stem of \histmi\, "keep on standing therefore," "stay free since Christ set you free." {Be not entangled again} (\m palin enechesthe\). "Stop being held in by a yoke of bondage." Common word for ensnare by trap. The Judaizers were trying to lasso the Galatians for the old yoke of Judaism.

rwp@John:8:36 @{If therefore the son shall make you free} (\ean oun ho huios humas eleuthersi\). Condition of third class with \ean\ and first aorist (ingressive) active subjunctive. "If therefore the Son set you free," as he has the power to do. {Ye shall be free indeed} (\onts eleutheroi esesthe\). Old and common adverb from participle \ontn\, actually, really (cf. strkjv@Luke:24:34|). But this spiritual freedom was beyond the concept or wish of these Jews.

rwp@Revelation:5:13 @{Every created thing} (\pn ktisma\). Every creature in a still wider antiphonal circle beyond the circle of angels (from \ktiz\, for which see strkjv@1Timothy:4:4; strkjv@James:1:18|), from all the four great fields of life (in heaven, upon the earth, under the earth as in verse 3|, with on the sea \epi ts thalasss\ added). No created thing is left out. This universal chorus of praise to Christ from all created life reminds one of the profound mystical passage in strkjv@Romans:8:20-22| concerning the sympathetic agony of creation (\ktisis\) in hope of freedom from the bondage of corruption. If the trail of the serpent is on all creation, it will be ultimately thrown off. {Saying} (\legontas\). Masculine (construction according to sense, personifying the created things) if genuine, though some MSS. have \legonta\ (grammatical gender agreeing with \panta\) present active participle of \leg\, to say. {And to the Lamb} (\kai ti arnii\). Dative case. Praise and worship are rendered to the Lamb precisely as to God on the throne. Note separate articles here in the doxology as in strkjv@4:11| and the addition of \to kratos\ (active power) in place of \ischus\ (reserve of strength) in strkjv@5:12|.

rwp@Romans:6:22 @{Ye have your fruit unto sanctification} (\echete ton karpon humn eis hagiasmon\). Freedom from sin and slavery to God bring permanent fruit that leads to sanctification. {And the end eternal life} (\to de telos zn ainion\). Note accusative case \zn ainion\, object of \echete\ (ye have), though \thanatos\ in contrast above is nominative.
