: Thirdly, it was not I who changed the bible, but whoever mistranslated John 8:32 (ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς) as 'veritas liberatio est'. Jerome renders it correctly as 'veritas liberabit vos'. Fourthly, futures in Greek and Latin are never 'precatory'.

In the first place, you don't change the Bible. In the second place, "shall" is precatory, not future.

Truth is release.
'Liberatio', in Ciceronian Latin at any rate, means a 'setting free', i.e., a 'release' from anything (e.g., from culpability, cf. Cicero, pro Ligario, 1.1) or an 'acquital' in a court of law (Id., in Pisonem, 36.87). In Late judicial Latin, it also means a release from or payment of a debt (Digest, 50.16.47).

This is the literal meaning of the Latin. If the phrase is an attempt to translate the Gospel of John (8:32 - ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς, 'the truth shall set you free'), it is erroneous. Jerome renders it correctly as 'veritas liberabit vos'. In both the original Greek and Jerome's Latin translation, the tense of the verb is future indicative--the proper tense and mood for a verb standing in the apodosis of a mixed future ideal condition (also called a mixed future less vivid condition). It is in fact the third clause of the apodosis, as should be evident when one quotes the whole passage, viz.,
[8:31] Ἔλεγεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τοὺς πεπιστευκότας αὐτῷ Ἰουδαίους Ἐὰν ὑμεῖς μείνητε ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῷ ἐμῷ, ἀληθῶς μαθηταί μού ἐστε, [32] καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς.
Jerome translates this quite accurately as
[8:31] Dicebat ergo Iesus ad eos qui crediderunt ei Iudaeos si vos manseritis in sermone meo vere discipuli mei eritis, [32] et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos.
Translated into English literally, both the Greek and the Latin mean, "Jesus accordingly said to those Jews who believed in him, 'If you abide in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will ascertain the truth, and the truth will set you free.'"
