rsv John:8:31-41
rsv@John:8:31 @ Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,
rsv@John:8:32 @ and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
rsv@John:8:33 @ They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one. How is it that you say, `You will be made free'?"
rsv@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave to sin.
rsv@John:8:35 @ The slave does not continue in the house for ever; the son continues for ever.
rsv@John:8:36 @ So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
rsv@John:8:37 @ I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
rsv@John:8:38 @ I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father."
rsv@John:8:39 @ They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did,
rsv@John:8:40 @ but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God; this is not what Abraham did.
rsv@John:8:41 @ You do what your father did." They said to him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God."
