John 8:31-38 - The Truth Will Set You Free
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed [in Him], "If you people continue [obeying] my message, then you are truly my disciples. 32 And you will know what the truth is and the truth will set you free [i.e. from bondage to sin]."
33 They replied to Him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be set free'?"
34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. 35 Now the slave does not remain part of the family forever, [but] the son does. 36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free [from sin], you will be truly free. 37 I know that you people are [all] descendants of Abraham; yet you are trying to kill me because you will not allow my message to affect you. 38 I am telling [you] about what I have seen in my Father's presence; but you [should] do what you have heard from your father."
