The Truth Will Set You Free

31So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, a“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32and you will bknow the truth, and the truth cwill set you free.” 33They answered him, d“We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?”

34Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, eeveryone who practices sin is a slave ▼
▼Greek bondservant; also verse 35
 to sin. 35 gThe slave does not remain in the house forever; hthe son remains forever. 36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet iyou seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you.
