Context — Freedom in Christgenerated
Galatians 5:1 highlights the significance of freedom that Christ provides, contrasting it with the bondage of the law. Paul urges the Galatians to stand firm in this freedom and not to allow themselves to be burdened again by the requirements of the law, which he equates with slavery. This message resonates throughout the letter, as Paul addresses the dangers of returning to a life governed by legalism.

The Key Word — ἐλευθερίᾳ, eleutheriagenerated
The noun ἐλευθερία (*eleutheria*) means freedom or liberty, particularly in a moral or spiritual sense. It is used in contexts that discuss liberation from sin and the constraints of the law, emphasizing the freedom believers have in Christ.
In this verse, it appears in the dative case, indicating the means or condition of the freedom that Christ has provided. Paul affirms that this freedom is not just a concept but a reality that should be actively embraced and maintained.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In this study, the verse is primarily compared against the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), which uses the phrase for freedom to emphasize the nature of the liberation Christ offers.
Different translations reflect nuances in wording: liberty (KJV, ASV) parallels the BSB's freedom, while yoke of bondage (KJV) and yoke of slavery (BSB) convey similar meanings but differ slightly in emphasis.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of two main clauses connected by the conjunction οὖν, with the first clause stating the purpose of Christ's work and the second urging the readers to stand firm. The finite verbs ἠλευθέρωσεν and στήκετε serve as the focal points of each clause.
The structure emphasizes the relationship between the freedom given by Christ and the call to maintain that freedom, with the imperative στήκετε urging action.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The term ἐλευθερία does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint but conveys the essence of liberation that is often discussed in the context of the Exodus narrative, where God's people were freed from slavery in Egypt.
The concept of δουλεία (slavery) is present in the Septuagint, often used to describe the condition of being under oppressive rule, which parallels the New Testament's discussion of spiritual bondage.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Galatians 5:1 tells us that Christ has set us free for true freedom. Paul encourages believers to stand firm in this freedom and not to return to the burdens of the law, which he describes as a yoke of slavery. This message is a reminder of the liberation we have in Christ and the importance of maintaining that freedom.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It means that through His sacrifice, Christ has liberated us from the bondage of sin and the requirements of the law, allowing us to live in true spiritual freedom.
Paul warns against returning to the law because it represents a form of slavery that undermines the freedom and grace that believers have received through Christ.
We can stand firm by remaining rooted in the truth of the Gospel, resisting the temptation to revert to legalistic practices, and encouraging one another in faith.
The yoke symbolizes the burdens and obligations of the law, which can entangle believers and hinder their spiritual freedom in Christ.

There seems to be no sufficient reason why this should not be adopted. In the liberty.—The best grammarians seem agreed to take this rather in the sense, for liberty; otherwise it would be tempting to explain it as an instance of the Hebraising construction which we find in John 3:29 : “Rejoice with joy” (Authorised version “rejoice greatly”). It would then mean: “with a system, or state, of freedom Christ freed us;” in other words: “placed us in a state of freedom, so that we are free.” The…

Stand fast therefore and be not again entangled with a yoke of bondage’.But the received arrangement of the chapters is better. Chapter 4 is didactic; chapter 5 is hortatory, and therefore properly begins with the injunction ‘stand fast’.It is however interesting to note that in the original the last word of ch. 4 is ‘free’, and ‘the freedom’ are the opening words of ch. 5.

The verse sits at the head of each block with the word under study lit, so you never lose your place. The panel above gives the short answer; this is the long one, and it is the part of the page worth indexing.
Every entry below is the lexicographer's own text. Imported from the CrossWire SWORD modules — Abbott-Smith, the full Liddell-Scott-Jones, Strong's, Dodson, the Intermediate LSJ, Robinson and Packard on the Greek, Webster and Cawdrey on the English the translators were using. Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word ἐλευθερία (i.e., *eleutheria*) means freedom or liberty. It encompasses both legitimate and licentious forms of freedom, particularly in moral or ceremonial contexts. In the New Testament, it is used to discuss religious liberty, freedom from the Mosaic law, and the concept of Christian liberty. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

Freedom
The law of Moses pointed out the cases in which the servants of the Hebrews were to receive their freedom (Ex. 21:2-4, 7, 8; Lev. 25:39-42, 47-55; Deut. 15:12-18). Under the Roman law the “freeman” (ingenuus) was one born free; the “freedman” (libertinus) was a manumitted slave, and had not equal rights with the freeman (Acts 22:28; comp. Acts 16:37-39; 21:39; 22:25; 25:11, 12).

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent. The New Testament uses it in various constructions, including phrases like ὃς μὲν... ὃς δέ to indicate contrasting subjects. Notably, it can express purpose or cause in certain contexts.

Χριστός (Christos) means 'anointed' and refers specifically to the Messiah, a title used for Jesus in the New Testament. The term is derived from the verb χρίω (to anoint) and appears in various contexts, including references to anointing oil and the anointed kings of Israel. It is used substantively as 'the Christ' in many New Testament verses, such as Matthew 2:4 and John 1:20.

Christ
Anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered “Messiah” (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ (Acts 17:3; 18:5; Matt. 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (61:1), and by Daniel (9:24-26), who styles him “Messiah the Prince.”
The Messiah is the same person as “the seed of the woman” (Gen. 3:15), “the seed of Abraham” (Gen. 22:18), the “Prophet like unto Moses” (Deut.…
[Jesus]
Anointed, a Greek word, answering to the Hebrew MESSIAH, the consecrated or anointed one, and given preeminently to our blessed Lord and Savior. See MESSIAH and JESUS.
The ancient Hebrews, being instructed by the prophets, had clear notions of the Messiah; but these became gradually depraved, so that when Jesus appeared in Judea, the Jews entertained a false conception of the Messiah, expecting a temporal monarch and conqueror, who should remove the Roman yoke and subject the whole world. Hence they were scandalized at the outward appearance, the humility, and seeming weakness of our Savior. The modern Jews, including still greater mistakes, form to themselves ideas of the Messiah utterly unknown to their forefathers.
The ancient prophets had foretold that the Messiah should be God, and man; exalted, and abased; master, and servant; priest, and victim; prince, and subject; involved in…

The Greek word ἐλευθερόω (i.e., *eleutheroo*) means to set free or liberate. It is built from the root for freedom and covers a range of meanings from physical release to moral exemption, particularly in the context of sin and law. In the New Testament, it appears in passages discussing freedom from sin and bondage. There is a note on its punctiliar usage in the New Testament, indicating a specific moment of liberation.
ἐλευθερόω, -@: fut. ἐλευθερώσω; 1 aor. ἠλευθέρωσα; Pass., 1 aor. ἠλευθερώθην ; 1 fut. ἐλευθερωθήσομαι; (ἐλεύOepos); [fr. Aeschyl. down]; to make free, set at liberty: from the dominion of sin, Jn. viii. 32, 36; τινὰ ἀπό twos, one from another’s control [W. 196 sq. (185); B. 157 sq- (138)]: ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τ. ἁμαρτίας K. τοῦ θανάτου (see νόμος, 1), Ro. viii. 2; ἀπὸ τ. ἁμαρτίας. from the dominion of sin, Ro. vi. 18, 22; ἀπὸ τ. δουλείας τ. POopas εἰς τ. ἐλευθερίαν, to liberate from bondage (see δουλεία) and to bring (transfer) info ete. (see εἰς, C. 1), Ro. viii. 21; with a dat. commodi, τῇ ἐλευθερίᾳ. that we might be possessors of liberty, Gal. v.1; ef. B. § 133, 12 [and Bp. Lghtft. ad loc. ].
ἐλευθερόω. For this verb, which is found ‘‘in innumerable documents of manumission,” see again Deissmann as cited s.v. ἐλευθερία. Cf. from the papyri P Oxy III. 49418 (a.p. 156) ἐλευθερουμένων δούλων σωμάτων with reference to certain slaves whom the testator had set free kat’ εὔνοιαν Kal φιλοστοργίαν, “in consequence of their goodwill and affection.” The verb appears to be always punctiliar in the NT: see Proleg. p. 149. For subst. ἐλευθέρωσις see BGU 11. 388% 18 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐπηνέχθ[ησ]αν ταβέλλαι δύ[ο] ἐλευθερώσεων τοῦ αὐτοῦ ὀνόματος διαφόροις χρόνοις (note dat. of point of time, as in Mk 6%! τοῖς γενεσίοις).

στήκω is a verb meaning 'to stand,' derived from the perfect tense of ἵστημι. It encompasses the ideas of standing firm, persevering, and maintaining one's position, particularly in a moral or spiritual context. The New Testament uses it in various passages, including Mark 3:31 and Galatians 5:1. Thayer notes some debate about its usage in specific verses, particularly in John 8:44.

The Greek word οὖν (oun) is a particle used to express consequence, sequence, or to resume a narrative. It translates to 'therefore,' 'then,' or 'accordingly,' and appears frequently in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:10 and Romans 5:9. It can also serve in exhortations and questions, indicating what follows logically from previous statements.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete. But pris either an ad verb of negation, not (Lat. non, ne); or aconjunction, that... not, lest, (Lat. ne); or an interrogative particle, (Lat. num) [i. e.

The Greek word πάλιν (*palin*) is an adverb meaning 'again' or 'back.' It encompasses both spatial and temporal contexts, indicating a return to a previous position or the repetition of an action. In the New Testament, it appears in various verses, such as Matthew 4:8 and John 1:35. The lexicons note its use for both literal and rhetorical purposes, but there is no significant disagreement among them.

of place, back, backwards (LS, s.v.).

ADV ADVerb or adverb and particle combined
a-gen': Advb. denoting repetition; in New Testament, generally for palin, "back," "once more." Occasionally, it has the force of a connective, synonymous with "moreover," as in Ro 15:10 ff; 1Co 3:20, etc. The expression "born again" of the King James Version, Joh 3:3,7; 1Pe 1:23, translating the Greek "anothen" and "ana" in composition, becomes in the Revised Version (British and American) "anew," i.e. "over again." As these particles mean "from above" and "up," their use as indicating repetition is sometimes disputed, but without further foundation than that "again" does not exhaust the meaning.

ζυγός (zugos) means yoke, often used metaphorically to signify bondage or submission to authority, as seen in Matthew 11:29-30 and Galatians 5:1. It can also refer to a balance or scales, as in Revelation 6:5. The word is derived from the root meaning to join, reflecting its literal and figurative uses.
ζυγός, -ov, ὁ, for which in Grk. writ. before Polyb. τὸ ζυγόν was more com., (fr. Cevyrupt) ; 1. a yoke; a. prop. such as is put on draught-cattle. b. metaph. used of any burden or bondage: as that of slavery, 1 Tim. vi. 1 (Lev. xxvi. 13), δουλείας, Gal. ν. 1 (Soph. Ai. 944; δουλοσύνης, Dem. 322, 12); of troublesome laws imposed on one, esp. of the Mosaic law, Acts xv. 10; Gal. ν. 1; hence the name is so transferred to the commands of Christ as to contrast them with the commands of the Pharisees which were a veritable ‘yoke’; yet even Christ’s commands must be submitted to, though easier to be kept : Mt. xi. 29 sq. (less aptly in Clem. Rom. 1 Cor. 16, 17 Christians are called οἱ ὑπὸ τὸν ζυγὸν τῆς χάριτος ἐλθόντες [ εἴ. Harnack ad loc.]). 2. a balance, pair of scales: Rev. vi. 5 (as in Is. xl. 12; Ley. xix. 36; Plat. rep. 8, 550 e.; Ael. v. h. 10, 6…

yok:
(1) The usual word is `ol (Ge 27:40, etc.), less commonly the (apparently later) form moTah (Isa 58:6, etc.; in Nab 1:13 moT), which the Revised Version (British and American) in Jer 27; 28 translates "bar" (a most needless and obscuring change). The Greek in Apocrypha (Sirach 28:19, etc.) and in the New Testament (Mt 11:29 f, etc.) is invariably zugos. Egyptian monuments show a yoke that consisted of a straight bar fastened to the foreheads of the cattle at the root of the horns, and such yokes were no doubt used in Palestine also; but the more usual form was one that rested on the neck (Ge 27:40, etc.). It was provided with straight "bars" (moToth in

The Greek word δουλεία (douleia) means slavery or bondage, derived from the verb δουλεύω (douleuo). It encompasses both literal and figurative senses of servitude, often reflecting a condition of degradation or unhappiness, as seen in the New Testament. Key passages include Romans and Galatians, where it relates to the burdens of the Mosaic law and the fear associated with death.

B. 78 (68)], equiv. to the law, the necessity, of perishing, Ro. viii. 21; used of the slavish sense of fear, devoid alike of buoyancy of spirit and of trust in God, such asis produced by the thought of death, Heb. ii. 15, as well as by the Mosaic law in its votaries, Ro. viii. 15 (πνεῦμα δουλείας) ; the Mosaic system is said to cause δουλεία on account of the grievous burdens its precepts impose upon its adherents: Gal. iv. 24; ν. 1.

The Greek word ἐνέχω (*enechō*) is built from the prefix ἐν- (in) and the root ἔχω (to have). It encompasses meanings such as to hold in, to be entangled, or to harbor a grudge. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts of being caught or held fast (Galatians 5:1) and expressing anger (Mark 6:19, Luke 11:53).
ἐν-έχω ; impf. ἐνεῖχον ; [pres. pass. evéxouat]; to have within, to hold in; a. pass. to be held, be entangled, be held ensnared, with a dat. of the thing in which one is held captive, — very often in Grk. writ., both lit.

A. 527; κακῷ, Epict. diss. 3, 22,93): ζυγῷ δουλείας, Gal. v. 1; [θλίψεσιν, 2 Th. i. 4 Wl mrg.], (ἀσεβείαις, 3 Mace. vi. 10). to be enraged with, set one’s self against, hold a grudge against some one: Mk. vi. 19; Lk. xi. 53, (Gen. xlix. 23); the expression is elliptical, and occurs in full (χόλον τινί to have anger in one’s self against another) in Hat. 1, 118; 8, 27; 6,119; see a similar ellipsis under προσέχω. [In this last case the ellipsis supplied is τὸν νοῦν, W. 593 (552); B. 144 (126); Meyer et al. would supply the same after évéyew in Mk. and Lk. ll. ee. and render the…

branches are dictionary forms, so endings do not split one phrase into five; the number on a branch is how many times the New Testament takes that path
