86a	1 Cor. 7: 22. 22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s ^afreeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s ^bservant. Mosiah 5: 8. 8 And under this head ye are made ^afree, and there is ^bno other head whereby ye can be made free. There is no other ^cname given whereby salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ, all you that have entered into the covenant with God that ye should be obedient unto the end of your lives. TG Liberty.
b	John 8: 36. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you ^afree, ye shall be free indeed. Alma 61: 9 (9, 21). 9 And now, in your epistle you have ^acensured me, but it mattereth not; I am not angry, but do rejoice in the greatness of your heart. I, Pahoran, do not ^bseek for power, save only to retain my judgment-seat that I may preserve the rights and the liberty of my people. My soul standeth fast in that liberty in the which God hath made us ^cfree. TG Agency.
