But whoever practices truth [and does what is right—morally, ethically, spiritually] comes to the Light, so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are—accomplished in God [divinely prompted, done with God’s help, in dependence on Him].”

Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, everyone who practices sin habitually is a slave of sin.
