The Greek word eleutheria means freedom and liberation. In the First Century, the Greek eleutheria specifically referred to a former slave who has been freed. Using KJV English can confuse people as to the true Greek meaning. In 16th Century English, liberty means freedom.

As another example, in Luke 4, KJV says that Jesus came 'to set at liberty them that are bruised." The Greek means to free those who are oppressed. Using KJV English is unwise, because 16th Century English uses different words than modern English for the same thing and confuses the common people who Jesus dearly loves.
