The Key Word — ἀπολύτρωσις, apolutrōsisgenerated
The term ἀπολύτρωσις (apolutrōsis) refers to redemption or deliverance, particularly through the payment of a ransom. It signifies being set free from bondage, especially from sin, as illustrated in Romans 3:24 and Ephesians 1:7.
This noun is in the nominative singular feminine form, indicating it serves as the subject of the sentence. The context emphasizes that this redemption is not distant but drawing near, offering hope and assurance to the listeners.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as your redemption is drawing near, which is echoed in the BSB, WEB, and KJV, highlighting the imminent arrival of salvation.
However, some translations like the YLT use your salvation is near, which shifts the focus slightly but maintains the core message of impending deliverance.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is ἀρχομένων, beginning, which governs the entire sentence. It is followed by an infinitive phrase indicating what is beginning, and imperative verbs instructing the audience on their response.
The structure includes a subject phrase τούτων (of these things) and multiple imperative verbs that guide the listeners on how to respond to the signs they will witness.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἀπολύτρωσις does not have a direct Old Testament equivalent in the Septuagint, but it connects with themes of deliverance found in various passages, such as Psalm 98:5–9 and Isaiah 12:1–3.
The concept of redemption is prevalent in the Hebrew Scriptures, where it often denotes a physical and spiritual deliverance, aligning with the New Testament understanding of salvation through Christ.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Jesus is assuring His followers that their salvation and deliverance from sin and suffering are imminent, encouraging them to remain hopeful.
Lifting up their heads symbolizes hope and readiness, indicating that they should not be discouraged by the signs of distress but rather look forward to their redemption.
The themes of redemption and deliverance are deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where God promises salvation to His people, as seen in passages like Isaiah 60.
The signs include various events and tribulations that will precede His return, which He describes in the preceding verses.

Redemption.—The word, familiar as it is to us, is, in the special form here used, another of those characteristic of St. Paul’s phraseology (Romans 3:24; Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 1:7, et al.). It occurs also in Hebrews 9:15; Hebrews 11:35. In its primary meaning here it points to the complete deliverance of the disciples from Jewish persecutions in Palestine that followed on the destruction of Jerusalem. The Church of Christ was then delivered from what had been its most formidable danger.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
His autem fieri incipientibus, respicite, et levate capita vestra : quoniam appropinquat redemptio vestra.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The Greek word ἄρχω (*archō*) primarily means 'to begin' or 'to rule.' It can denote the act of starting something, often with a genitive case, or the authority to lead or govern. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts related to leadership (e.g., Mark 10:42) and beginning actions (e.g., Matthew 4:17). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

be-gin'-ing (re'-shith; arche): The natural meaning of the word is with reference to time. The primitive Greek root means "to be long," "to draw out." Thus, it is used to refer to some point of time long drawn out, or long past (Ge 1:1). It is used also to express the inauguration of a particular event (Ex 12:2). The principal interest in the word centers in the use of it in Joh 1:1. It must be interpreted here by that which follows in the statement as to the relation of the Logos to the Eternal God and the use of the word "was." It is true that the word arche cannot be separated from the idea of time, but when time began He already was, and therefore He was from eternity.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

a conjunctive particle, marking the superaddition of a clause, whether in opposition or in continuation, to what has preceded, and it may be variously rendered but, on the other hand, and, also, now, etc.; καὶ δέ, when there is a special superaddition in continuation, too, yea, etc. It sometimes is found at the commencement of the apodosis of a sentence, Acts 11:17. It serves also to mark the resumption of an interrupted discourse, 2 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 2:6
δέ but: conjunctive Particle, with adversative force: it commonly answers to μέν, and may often be rendered by while, whereas, on the other hand, v. μέν:— but μέν is often omitted, δέ being used merely to pass on from one thing to another; ὣς Ἀχιλεὺς θάμβησεν, θάμβησαν δὲ καὶ ἄλλοι Il.; etc.; κινεῖ κραδίην κινεῖ δὲ χόλον Eur.
δέ is often redundant,
to introduce the apodosis, where it may be rendered by then, yet, εἰ δέ κε μὴ δώωσιν, ἐγὼ δέ κεν αὐτὸς ἕλωμαι if they will not give it, then I will take it, Il.; so at in Lat., si tu oblitus es, at Dii meminerint Catull.
to resume after interruption caused by a parenthesis, where it may be rendered by I say, now, so then, Hdt.
POSITION of δέ: properly second, being often put between the Art. and Subst., the prep. and case.

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

γίνομαι (ginomai) is a versatile Greek verb meaning to come into being, be born, or arise. It covers a wide range of uses, from the creation of things to events occurring. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as birth (e.g., Romans 1:3), occurrences in nature (e.g., John 12:29), and actions being performed (e.g., Matthew 21:42). It can also express the idea of becoming or changing states.

The Greek word ἀνακύπτω (i.e., *anakupto*) is built from the prefix ἀνα- meaning 'up' and the root κύπτω meaning 'to bend.' It covers the physical act of lifting oneself up, as well as a metaphorical sense of emerging or feeling elated. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts related to both bodily and mental uplift, such as in Luke 13:11 and John 8:7.
ἀνακύπτω. P Par 47 (ὦ. B.c. 153) (= Selections, p. 23), a very grandiloquent but ill-spelt letter, will illustrate Lk 21°: οὐκ ἔστι ἀνακύψα (/. -κύψαι) πόποτε ἐν τῇ Τρικομίαι ὑπὸ τῆς αἰσχύνης, ‘it is not possible ever to look up again in Tricomia for very shame.” It appears also in P Ryl I. 28% (iv/A.D.), on omens drawn from twitching—one sort portends that the man ‘‘ will suffer loss fora time and will emerge again from his troubles” (Ed.—ék τῶν κακῶν ἀνακύψει).

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.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

The Greek word ἐπαίρω (i.e., *epairō*) means to lift up or raise, both literally and figuratively. It appears in various contexts, such as lifting hands in prayer (1 Tim 2:8) or being exalted with pride (2 Cor 10:5). The word is built from the prefix ἐπ- and the root αἴρω, and it is used in both the New Testament and classical literature.

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.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

κεφαλή (kephalē) means 'head' and can refer to the literal head of a person or animal, as well as metaphorically to denote authority or superiority, such as in the context of a husband or Christ. It appears in various New Testament verses, including Matthew 5:36 and 1 Corinthians 11:3. The term also encompasses meanings related to the top or extremity of objects, like a corner-stone.

σύ is the second-person singular pronoun meaning 'you' in Greek. It has various forms: genitive σοῦ, dative σοί, and accusative σέ. The word can be used for emphasis or contrast, particularly in the New Testament, as seen in verses like Matthew 26:64. It also appears in various dialects and has enclitic forms.

διότι is a conjunction meaning 'because' or 'for the reason that,' derived from διὰ τοῦτο and ὅτι. It is used in various New Testament contexts, often conveying a stronger causal sense than ὅτι, though it can sometimes approximate its meaning. References include Luke 1:13 and Romans 1:19.

The Greek word ἐγγίζω (i.e., *eggizō*) means to come near or approach. It is built from the root meaning 'near' and is used in various contexts, including approaching a place or time, and metaphorically in relation to God. The New Testament uses it frequently, particularly in references to drawing near to God (James 4:8) and the imminent arrival of the kingdom (Matthew 3:2).

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.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,

The Greek word ἀπολύτρωσις (apolutrosis) means redemption or deliverance, specifically through the payment of a ransom. It is derived from ἀπολυτρόω, which signifies the act of releasing by paying a price. In the New Testament, it refers to spiritual deliverance through Christ, as seen in verses like Romans 3:24 and Ephesians 1:7. Some lexicons note a distinction in how much the term retains its original sense of ransom.
THERE are three grand circles of images, by aid of which are set forth to us in the Scriptures of the N. T. the inestimable benefits of Christ’s death and passion. Transcending, as these benefits do, all human thought, and failing to find anywhere a perfectly adequate expression in human language, they must still be set forth by the help of language, and through the means of human relations. Here, as in other similar cases, what the Scripture does is to approach the ' Philo makes the distinction of the λόγος and the ῥῆμα to be that of the whole and of its parts (Leg. Alleg. iii. 61): τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα μέρος λόγου, On the distinction between ῥῆμα τοῦ Θεοῦ and λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ there are some important remarks by Archdeacon Lee, On Inspiration, pp. 135, 539. §Lxxvil SYWONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT 271 central truth from different quarters; to exhibit it not on one side but on many, that so these may…

Redemption
The purchase back of something that had been lost, by the payment of a ransom. The Greek word so rendered is apolutrosis, a word occurring nine times in Scripture, and always with the idea of a ransom or price paid, i.e., redemption by a lutron (see Matt. 20:28; Mark 10:45). There are instances in the LXX. Version of the Old Testament of the use of lutron in man’s relation to man (Lev. 19:20; 25:51; Ex. 21:30; Num. 35:31, 32; Isa. 45:13; Prov. 6:35), and in the same sense of man’s relation to God (
