New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
31 Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings.
31
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 “But we are descendants of Abraham,” they said. “We have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean, ‘You will be set free’?”
33
They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”
34 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin.
34
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
35 A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever.
35
Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
36 So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
