And the servant abides not in the house forever: but the Son abides ever.
All Commentaries on John 8:35 Go To John 8
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
The servant abideth not, &c. He who is the servant of sin, like you Jews, has not the right of remaining in his Master"s house (that is the Church of God) for ever: for after death he will be cast into the outer darkness of hell, as ye too will be cast out. But the Son abideth for ever in His Father"s house, that Isaiah , I ever abide with My Father in heaven. But if through Me and My grace ye have been delivered from the bondage of sin, ye will abide for ever with Me, as adopted children, in the house of God, that is in the Church militant by grace, and in the Church triumphant, for ever happy and glorious in heaven. So S. Augustine, Bede, and others.
