John 8:33-39 ▼

33 they answered him, we are Abraham's offspring, and were never slaves to any man: why then do you say, "ye shall be made free?"

34 Jesus answered them, I declare unto you, whosoever committeth sin, is a slave to sin.

35 a slave has no right to be in the house for life: but the son is settled there.

36 if the son therefore shall make you free, you will be free indeed.

37 I know you are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my doctrine doth not penetrate into you.

38 what I have learnt from my father, that I tell: and what you have learnt from your father, that you do.

39 they answered him, Abraham is our father, if you were Abraham's children, said Jesus, you would act like Abraham.
