{With freedom} ( (8869) eleutheri(8369)). 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} (h(886d)as Christos (886c)euther(9373)en).
Effective aorist active indicative of eleuthero(935c) (from
erchomai, to go, go free). {Stand fast therefore} (st(886b)ete
oun). See on Mr 3:31 1Co 16:13 for this late word from
perfect stem of hist(886d)i, "keep on standing therefore," "stay
free since Christ set you free." {Be not entangled again} (m(880a)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.
