Good people in freedom from sin (5)
I believe the answer is:
grace
'freedom from sin' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'good people' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'people' becomes 'race' (people can mean a national group or race).
'g'+'race'='GRACE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grace that I've seen before include "Elegance of movement" , "kindness" , "melodic decoration" , "Elegance; girl's name" , "Charming quality" .)
