John 8:32-34

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 8:32-34. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

There is this in the original, "Whosoever maketh sin." It is not exactly, "Whosoever committeth it," because if so, all would be the servants of sin, and God would have no sons at all. But it says in the original "Whosoever maketh sin," that is, whosoever makes it his choice, and makes it the delight of his soul, whosoever doth this is the servant of sin, and is no son of God.
