John 8:31-36

The Truth Will Make You Free

31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "1If you continue in My word, then you are truly 2disciples of Mine;
32 and 3you will know the truth, and 4the truth will make you free."
33 They answered Him, "5We are Abraham's descendants and have never * yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free '?"
34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, 6everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
35 "7The slave does not remain in the house forever; 8the son does remain forever.
36 "So if the Son 9makes you free, you will be free indeed.
