Freedman, Freeman
fredman, freman: The term occurs in 1Co 7:22; Col 3:11, and Rev 6:15, and represents two slightly different words. In 1Co 7:22 the word is , apeleutheros, a freeman, one who was born a slave and has received freedom. In this case it refers to spiritual freedom. He that was in bondage to sin has been presented with spiritual freedom by the Lord. In Rev 6:15 the word is simply , eleutheros, a free man as opposed to a slave.
