8:31

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.

8:32

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

8:33

They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?"

8:34

Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

8:35

Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.

8:36

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

8:37

I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are ready to kill me, because you have no room for my word.

8:38

I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and you do what you have heard from your father."

8:39

"Abraham is our father," they answered.  "If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do the things Abraham did.

8:40

As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things.

6:17

But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.

6:18

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

6:19

I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.

6:20

When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.

6:21

What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!

6:22

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

7:24

What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

17:17

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

14:6

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
