John 8:32-39
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
32and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.' 33They answered Him, 'We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?'
34Jesus answered them, 'Truly, truly I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
35Now the slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.
36So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.
37I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you are seeking to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
38I speak of the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.'
King James Version
Chapter 8
32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.Christian Standard Bible
34Jesus responded, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
35A slave does not remain in the household forever, but a son does remain forever.
36So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.
37I know you are descendants of Abraham, but you are trying to kill me because my word has no place among you.
38I speak what I have seen in the presence of the Father; so then, you do what you have heard from your father."
New Living Translation
34Jesus replied, 'I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin.
35A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever.
36So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
37Yes, I realize that you are descendants of Abraham. And yet some of you are trying to kill me because there’s no room in your hearts for my message.
38I am telling you what I saw when I was with my Father. But you are following the advice of your father.'

36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37I 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.
38I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.'
