NETBible

For freedom¹ Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke² of slavery.

NET Notes

¹tn 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.

²sn Here the yoke figuratively represents the burdensome nature of slavery.
