freedom

¹Stand firm, and do not be willing to be again held by the yoke of servitude.

¹⁷Now the Spirit is Lord. And wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

¹³For you, brothers, have been called to liberty. Only you must not make liberty into an occasion for the flesh, but instead, serve one another through the charity of the Spirit.

¹⁶in an open manner, and not as if cloaking malice with liberty, but like servants of God.

³⁶Therefore, if the Son has set you free, then you will truly be free.

¹The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the meek, so as to heal the contrite of heart, to preach leniency to captives and release to the confined,

²²Yet truly, having been freed now from sin, and having been made servants of God, you hold your fruit in sanctification, and truly its end is eternal life.

³²And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”

²⁵But he who gazes upon the perfect law of liberty, and who remains in it, is not a forgetful hearer, but instead a doer of the work. He shall be blessed in what he does.

⁴⁵And I have wandered far and wide, because I was seeking your commandments.

¹²All is lawful to me, but not all is expedient. All is lawful to me, but I will not be driven back by the authority of anyone.

¹⁸“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because of this, he has anointed me. He has sent me to evangelize the poor, to heal the contrite of heart,

³⁸Therefore, let it be known to you, noble brothers, that through him is announced to you remission from sins and from everything by which you were not able to be justified in the law of Moses. ³⁹In him, all who believe are justified.

⁵In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord. And the Lord heeded me with generosity.
