John 8:30-47
30As He saidG2980 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 1manyG4183 came to believeG4100 in Him.
31SoG3767 JesusG2424 was sayingG3004 to thoseG3588 JewsG2453 who had believedG4100 Him, “2IfG1437 you continueG3306 in My wordG3056, then you are trulyG230 My 3disciplesG3101; 32and 4you will knowG1097 the truthG225, and 5the truthG225 will setG1659 you freeG1659.” 33They answeredG611 Him, “6We are Abraham’sG11 descendantsG4690 and have neverG3762G4455 been enslavedG1398 to anyoneG3762; howG4459 is it that You sayG3004, ‘You will becomeG1096 freeG1658’?”
34JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “TrulyG281, trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 7everyoneG3956 who commitsG4160 sinG266 is a slaveG1401 of sinG266. 35NowG1161 8the slaveG1401 does not remainG3306 in the houseG3614 foreverG165; 9the sonG5207 does remainG3306 foreverG165. 36SoG3767 ifG1437 the SonG5207 10setsG1659 you freeG1659, you reallyG3689 will be freeG1658. 37I knowG3609 that you are 11Abraham’sG11 descendantsG4690; yetG235 12you are seekingG2212 to killG615 Me, becauseG3754 My wordG3056 13hasG5562 noG3756 placeG5562 in you. 38I speakG2980 of the things whichG3739 I have seenG3708 14with My FatherG3962; thereforeG3767 you alsoG2532 doG4160 the things whichG3739 you heardG191 from 15your fatherG3962.”
39They answeredG611 and saidG3004 to Him, “AbrahamG11 is 16our fatherG3962.” JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “17IfG1487 you are Abraham’sG11 childrenG5043, doG4160 the deedsG2041 of AbrahamG11. 40But as it is, 18you are seekingG2212 to killG615 Me, a ManG444 whoG3739 has 19toldG2980 you the truthG225, whichG3739 I heardG191 from GodG2316; thisG3778 AbrahamG11 did not doG4160. 41You are doingG4160 the deedsG2041 of 20your fatherG3962.” They saidG3004 to Him, “We were not bornG1080 as a resultG1537 of sexualG4202 immoralityG4202; 21we haveG2192 oneG1520 FatherG3962: GodG2316.” 42JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “IfG1487 GodG2316 were your FatherG3962, 22you would loveG25 Me, 23for I cameG1831 forthG1831 from GodG2316 and amG2240 hereG2240; for I have 24not evenG3761 comeG2064 25on My ownG1683, but 2627He sentG649 Me. 43WhyG1223G5101 do you not understandG1097 2829whatG2981 I am sayingG2981? It is becauseG3754 you cannotG1410G3756 30listenG191 to My wordG3056. 4431You are of 32your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, and 33you wantG2309 to doG4160 the desiresG1939 of your fatherG3962. 34He was a murdererG443 from the beginningG746, and does not standG4739 in the truthG225 becauseG3754 35there is noG3756 truthG225 in him. WheneverG3752 he tellsG2980 36a lieG5579, he 37speaksG2980 from his ownG2398 nature, becauseG3754 he is a liarG5583 and the fatherG3962 of 38liesG846. 45But becauseG3754 39I sayG3004 the truthG225, you do not believeG4100 Me. 46WhichG5101 oneG5101 of you convictsG1651 Me of sinG266? IfG1487 40I speakG3004 truthG225, whyG1223G5101 do you not believeG4100 Me? 4741The one who is of GodG2316 hearsG191 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316; for thisG3778 reasonG1223 you do not hearG191 them, becauseG3754 you are not of GodG2316.”
