30As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
31So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
34Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
35A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
— John 8:30-36
