43 How is it you do not understand me when I speak? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words. 44 The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. *He* was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth--for there is no truth in him. Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies. 45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which of *you* convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 He who is a child of God listens to God's words. You do not listen to them: and why? It is because you are not God's children." John 8:43-47, Weymouth New Testament. Public domain.
