John 8:42-47 Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; for I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴² Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; for I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me. ⁴³ Why do you not understand my speech? it is because you cannot bear to hear my word. ⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature: for he is a liar, and the father of lies. ⁴⁵ And because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me. ⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me? ⁴⁷ He who is of God hears God's words: therefore you do not hear them, because you are not of God.
