Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him,
If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;
All Commentaries on John 8:31 Go To John 8
Gregory The Dialogist
AD 604
Because whoever yields to wrong desires, puts his hitherto free soul under the yoke of the evil one, and takes him for his master. But we oppose this master, when we struggle against the wickedness which has laid hold upon us, when we strongly resist habit, when we pierce sin with repentance, and wash away the spots of filth With tears.
And the more freely men follow their perverse desires, the more closely are they in bondage to them.
