John 8:30-36

English Standard Version

³⁰ As he was saying these things, ^(A)many believed in him.

The Truth Will Set You Free

³¹ So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, ^(B)“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, ³² and you will ^(C)know the truth, and the truth ^(D)will set you free.” ³³ They answered him, ^(E)“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, ^(F)everyone who practices sin is a slave^[a] to sin. ^35 (G)The slave does not remain in the house forever; ^(H)the son remains forever. ³⁶ So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
