John 8:31-36

The Truth Will Set You Free

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, ¹"If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,

32 and you will ²know the truth, and the truth ³will set you free."

33 They answered him, ⁴"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, ⁵everyone who commits sin is a slave^[a] to sin.

35 ⁶The slave does not remain in the house forever; ⁷the son remains forever.

36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
