<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> FREELY </strong> . The use to observe is when ‘freely’ means ‘gratuitously.’ as Numbers 11:5 ‘We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely’ (Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] <em> gratis </em> ); Matthew 10:5 ‘freely ye received, freely give’ (Gr. <em> dôrean </em> , Rhem. ‘gratis’). </p> | ||

<p> '''''frē´li''''' ( חנּם , <i> '''''hinnām''''' </i> , נדבה , <i> '''''nedhābhāh''''' </i> ; δωρεάν , <i> '''''dōreán''''' </i> παῤῥησιάζομαι ,ρ | <p> '''''frē´li''''' ( חנּם , <i> '''''hinnām''''' </i> , נדבה , <i> '''''nedhābhāh''''' </i> ; δωρεάν , <i> '''''dōreán''''' </i> παῤῥησιάζομαι ,ρ Ο2 for nothing ( Numbers 11:5 π , oh_2:10 ). The word is <i> '''''methúskō''''' </i> , Pass. "to become drunk." [[Comparison]] with Luke 12:45; Ephesians 5:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:7; Revelation 17:2 , where the same word is translated the King James Version "made drunk," the Revised Version (British and American) "made drunken" ( Matthew 24:49; Acts 2:15; 1 Corinthians 11:21; Revelation 17:6 , "drunken"), will show that the meaning is "drunk," which was the rendering of Tyndale and Cranmer; [[Vulgate]] (Jerome's <i> Latin Bible </i> , 390-405 ad) has <i> cum inebriati fuerint </i> ; Plummer renders "have become drunk, are drunk." </p> | ||
