eleutheroo describes release from slavery, sin, death, or corruption into freedom.

The attested use describes bringing someone or something out of a constraining condition into freedom: people are released from sin and the law of sin and death, while creation is promised release from slavery to corruption. The same action is attributed in the clauses to Christ, truth, the Son, and the law of the Spirit of life.

   In Romans 6:18 and Romans 6:22, the aorist passive participle marks people as having been released from sin before becoming enslaved to righteousness or to God; the APB renders the clauses “having been set free from sin.” In Romans 8:2 the active aorist clause says that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has released its object from the law of sin and death, while Romans 8:21 uses a future passive form for creation’s coming release from slavery of corruption. John 8:32, John 8:36, and Galatians 5:1 likewise place the action in clauses concerning truth, the Son, and freedom rather than renewed slavery.
