The Truth Will Set You Free
31So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, c“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32and you will dknow the truth, and the truth ewill set you free.” 33They answered him, f“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, geveryone who practices sin is a slave ▼
▼Greek bondservant; also verse 35
to sin. 35 iThe slave does not remain in the house forever; jthe son remains forever. 36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 2 Corinthians 3:17
17Now the Lord ▼▼Or this Lord
is the Spirit, and where lthe Spirit of the Lord is, there is mfreedom. Galatians 3:23-26
23Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, nimprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24So then, othe law was our pguardian until Christ came, qin order that we might be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26for in Christ Jesus ryou are all sons of God, through faith.Galatians 5:1
