Exegesis
Ontos {ὄντως | ontōs} intensifies eleutheroi {ἐλεύθεροι | eleútheroi}, stressing not merely the appearance of freedom but its reality. The English renderings preserve the conditional-result structure while smoothing the Greek word order and maintaining the contrast between promise and genuine freedom.
Root and etymology
eimiepsilon iota mu iota
