him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my

truth will set you free.” 33 They answered

never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you
say, ‘You will become free’?”

you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to
sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house

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.
