Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 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?” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.

The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

​

For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
