Exegesis
In eleutheroi ei-sin hoi huioi {ἐλεύθεροί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοί | e-leú-the-roi ei-sin hoi hu-ioí} ‘the sons are free’, the fronted predicate adjective eleutheroi emphasizes exemption, and the nominative appositive hoi huioi specifies the beneficiaries. The translation maintains the genitive absolute nuance with “When he said,” renders ara ge as “Therefore” or “Then,” and highlights “sons are free” as the decisive declaration.
