John 8:43-47

English Standard Version

^43 (A)Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot ^(B)bear to hear my word. ^44 (C)You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. ^(D)He was a murderer from the beginning, and ^(E)does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. ^(F)When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. ⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. ⁴⁶ Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? ^47 (G)Whoever is of God hears the words of God. ^(H)The reason why you do not hear them is that ^(I)you are not of God.”
