Galatians 5:1

¶ Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Stand fast {G4739} therefore {G3767} in the liberty {G1657} wherewith {G3739} Christ {G5547} hath made {G1659} us {G2248} free {G1659}, and {G2532} be {G1758} not {G3361} entangled {G1758} again {G3825} with the yoke {G2218} of bondage {G1397}.

What the Messiah has freed us for is freedom! Therefore, stand firm, and don’t let yourselves be tied up again to a yoke of slavery.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.

For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.
