He was slaying men from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he would speak a lie, he speaks of his own things; for he is a liar, and the father of him. And because I say the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicts me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me. He being of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear not, for ye are not of God.
