Jesus gave himself as a G3083-ransom for many people and G487-ransom for all people

[tonychanyt]

Mark 10:

45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

[as] a ransom
λύτρον (lytron)
Strong's 3083: From luo; something to loosen with, i.e. A redemption price.

A different Greek word appears in 1 Timothy 2:

6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.

[as] a ransom
ἀντίλυτρον (antilytron)
Strong's 487: A ransom. From anti and lutron; a redemption-price.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary:

The Greek implies not merely ransom, but a substituted or equivalent ransom: the Greek preposition, "anti," implying reciprocity and vicarious substitution.

What is “a ransom” as it appears in 1 Timothy 2:6?

It is not the usual simple ransom but a vicarious substitutionary ransom.

If a prisoner is in jail and a ransom is paid so that they can go free, what is there to stop them from going free?

Unbelief. He has to believe that Jesus paid the G487-vicarious-ransom for him.

If a ransom has been paid "for all" will not all walk out and go free?

Only if he believes.

Does a ransom paid guarantee freedom?

if he believes.

Jesus did not say "for all."

Good point. I modified the OP. Take another look
