John 8:31-39

³¹Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

³²and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³They answered unto him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

³⁴Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

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

³⁷I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

³⁸I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father.

³⁹They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
