John 8:33-39 ▼

33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You shall become free’?”

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.

35 “And the slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.

36 “If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

37 “I know that you are Abraham’s offspring; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
