NET Notes |
1 tn Translating the dative as “For freedom” shows the purpose for Christ setting us free; however, it is also possible to take the phrase in the sense of means or instrument (“with [or by] freedom”), referring to the freedom mentioned in 4:31 and implied throughout the letter. 2 sn Here the yoke figuratively represents the burdensome nature of slavery. |
