John 8:33-37 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

33. They answered him, "We are Abraham's children. We have never been slaves of anyone. So how can you say that we will be set free?"

34. Jesus replied, "What I'm about to tell you is true. Everyone who sins is a slave of sin.

35. A slave has no lasting place in the family. But a son belongs to the family forever.

36. So if the Son of Man sets you free, you will really be free.

37. "I know you are Abraham's children. But you are ready to kill me. You have no room for my word.
