Answer:

Answer: Freedom is costly, but anything truly worthwhile comes at a high price.

Explanation:

What Thomas Paine is saying is that we don't value things that we acquire easily, but we value greatly the things for which we struggle to acquire. He compares Freedom to a gift as important as eternal life in Heaven, deeming that the cost of Christ's death is the extent of the price which Freedom will cost—and rightly so, in his opinion.
