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

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 They answered him, "We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, 'You will become 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 answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.

34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains 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 will be free indeed.

37 I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you.

37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word.

38 I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father."

38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.”
