John 8:32-50 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

32. and the truth shall make you free.'

33. They answered him, `Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say--Ye shall become free?'

34. Jesus answered them, `Verily, verily, I say to you--Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,

35. and the servant doth not remain in the house--to the age, the son doth remain--to the age;

36. if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
