<p>8:34 <i>Jesus answered them: Truly, truly, I say to you: Everyone who commits sin is the servant of sin</i>- For all their detailed Bible study, they were servants of sin. To habitually live in sin &quot;commits&quot; in the ongoing sense is because we serve sin and have not been set free. Not sinning is not therefore just a question of white-knuckled struggle against temptation; it is more about an allowing of the Lord Jesus to free us from sin by His Spirit.</p>
