31Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." 33They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, "You will be made free'?" 34Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
٣١فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لِلْيَهُودِ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ: «إِنَّكُمْ إِنْ ثَبَتُّمْ فِي كَلَامِي فَبِالْحَقِيقَةِ تَكُونُونَ تَلَامِيذِي، ٣٢وَتَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ، وَٱلْحَقُّ يُحَرِّرُكُمْ». ٣٣أَجَابُوهُ: «إِنَّنَا ذُرِّيَّةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَلَمْ نُسْتَعْبَدْ لِأَحَدٍ قَطُّ! كَيْفَ تَقُولُ أَنْتَ: إِنَّكُمْ تَصِيرُونَ أَحْرَارًا؟». ٣٤أَجَابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ٱلْحَقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ هُوَ عَبْدٌ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ. ٣٥وَٱلْعَبْدُ لَا يَبْقَى فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، أَمَّا ٱلِٱبْنُ فَيَبْقَى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٣٦فَإِنْ حَرَّرَكُمْ ٱلِٱبْنُ فَبِالْحَقِيقَةِ تَكُونُونَ أَحْرَارًا.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
