John 8:30-37

³⁰As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he was ◄ from God/the Messiah►.

³¹Then Jesus said to the Jews who now said they believed in him, “If you continue to live in accordance with my message, you will truly be my disciples.

³²Then you will know God's truth, and as a result of your believing his truth, he PRS will free you from being controlled by the one who has made you his slaves.”

³³They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham. We have never been anyone's slaves. So why do you say we will be freed from being someone's slaves?”

³⁴Jesus replied, “Listen carefully to what I am going to tell you. All those who continue to sin are forced to obey their sinful desires MET, just like a slave is forced to obey his master.

³⁵A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. Similarly, you say you are members of God's family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God's family.

³⁶So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.

³⁷I know that you are Abraham's descendants. But you are trying to kill me because you are not allowing PRS my message to continue to change your inner being.
