* Jesus said to them , »If God were your Father , you would love me , for I proceeded and came forth from God ; I have not come of my own accord , but he sent me . * Why do you not understand what I say ? It is because you are not able to hear my word . * You are of your father the devil , and you want to do your father 's desires . He was a murderer from the beginning , and does not stand in the truth , because there is no truth in him . When he lies , he speaks according to his own nature , for he is a liar and the father of lies . * But because I tell the truth , you do not believe me . * Which of you convicts me of sin ? If I tell the truth , why do you not believe me ? * He who is of God hears the words of God ; the reason you do not hear them is that you are not of God .«
