"If you make my word your home you will indeed be my disciples; you will come to know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

John 8:31-42

 

³¹ To the Jews who believed in him Jesus said: If you make my word your home you will indeed be my disciples;

³² you will come to know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

³³ They answered, 'We are descended from Abraham and we have never been the slaves of anyone; what do you mean, "You will be set free?" '

³⁴ Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave.

³⁵ Now a slave has no permanent standing in the household, but a son belongs to it for ever.

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

³⁷ I know that you are descended from Abraham; but you want to kill me because my word finds no place in you.

³⁸ What I speak of is what I have seen at my Father's side, and you too put into action the lessons you have learnt from your father.
