John 8:31-38

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in
my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the
truth will make you free."  They answered him, "We are descendants of
Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone.  What do you mean by saying,
'You will be made free'?"

Jesus answered them, "Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is
a slave to sin.  The slave does not have a permanent place in the
household; the son has a place there forever.  So if the Son makes you
free, you will be free indeed.  I know that you are descendants of
Abraham; yet you look for an opportunity to kill me, because there is no
place in you for my word.  I declare what I have seen in the Father's
presence; as for you, you should do what you have heard from the Father."
