noun, f. | -εως | λύω

37.128 · Control, Rule · Release, Set Free

to set free, to liberate, to deliver, liberation, deliverance to release or set free, with the implied analogy to the process of freeing a slave In a number of languages one cannot speak of ‘being set free’ without specifying the particular manner or circumstances involved. In the case of LUK 24:21, for example, it may be necessary to translate ‘to liberate Israel’ as ‘to cause Israel to be free from foreign control’ or ‘... from the power of Rome.’ A similar type of translation may be required in LUK 2:38, but in the case of EPH 1:7 it may be necessary to specify ‘we are set free from sin’ or ‘we are set free from our bad desires.’

Redemption (3085) lutrosis

Eternal (166) (aionios from aion) means perpetual eternal, everlasting, without beginning or end (as of God), that which is always. Eternal is a key word Hebrews: blood of eternal covenant (He 13:20-note). He offered Himself through His eternal spirit (He 9:14-note) and has become the Author/Source of eternal salvation (He 5:9-note). He has obtained eternal redemption (see note Hebrews 9:12) and enables men to receive of the eternal inheritance (He 9:15-note; He 13:20-note). Vincent comments that eternal here is... not mere duration is contemplated, but quality; a redemption answering in its quality to that age when all the conditions of time shall be no more: a redemption not ritual, but profoundly ethical and spiritual.
