John 8:33-41

33 They answered him, ^c“We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?”

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^deveryone who practices sin is a slave ^{▼▼Greek bondservant; also verse 35} to sin. 35 ^fThe slave does not remain in the house forever; ^gthe son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet ^hyou seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you. 38 ⁱI speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard ^jfrom your father.”

You Are of Your Father the Devil

39 They answered him, ^k“Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, ^l“If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, 40 but now ^myou seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth ⁿthat I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. 41 You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him, ^o“We were not born of sexual immorality. We have ^pone Father—even God.”

Romans 9:7-9

7 and not all are children of Abraham ^qbecause they are his offspring, but ^r“Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but ^sthe children of the promise are counted as offspring. 9 For this is what the promise said: ^t“About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.”
