John 8:31-39

³¹Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

³²And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

³³They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

³⁴And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

³⁵Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

³⁶If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free.

³⁷I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.

³⁸I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.

³⁹In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.
