VERSE (34) - Joh 3:3 Mt 5:18

SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:34

Jess les respondi: De cierto, de cierto os digo, que todo aquel que hace pecado, es siervo de pecado.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 8:34

Verse 34. Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.] Or, doulov esti, &c., is the slave of sin. This was the slavery of which Christ spoke; and deliverance from it, was the liberty which he promised.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 34. Jesus answered them, verily verily I say unto you , etc.] Taking no notice of their civil liberty, to which he could easily have replied to their confusion and silence, he observes to them their moral servitude and bondage, and in the strongest manner affirms, that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin ; which must be understood, not of one that commits a single act of sin, though ever so gross, as did Noah, Lot, David, Peter, and others, who yet were not the servants of sin; or of such who sin through ignorance, weakness of the flesh, and the power of Satans temptations, and especially who commit sin with reluctance, the spirit lusting against it; nor indeed of any regenerate persons, though they are not without sin; nor do they live without the commission of it, in thought, word, or deed; and though they fall into it, they do not continue and live in it, but rise up out of it, through the grace of God, and by true repentance; and so are not to be reckoned the servants of sin, or to be of the devil. But this is to be understood of such whose bias and bent of their minds are to sin; who give up themselves unto it, and sell themselves to work wickedness; who make sin their trade, business, and employment, and are properly workers of it, and take delight and pleasure in it: these, whatever liberty, they promise themselves, are the servants of corruption; they are under the government of sin, that has dominion over them; and they obey it in the lusts thereof, and are drudges and slaves unto it, and will have no other wages at last but death, even eternal death, if grace prevent not; (see Romans 6:16 2 Peter 2:19).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 30-36 - Such power attended our Lord's words, that many were convinced, an professed to believe in him. He encouraged them to attend his teaching rely on his promises, and obey his commands, notwithstanding all temptations to evil. Thus doing, they would be his disciples truly; an by the teaching of his word and Spirit, they would learn where their hope and strength lay. Christ spoke of spiritual liberty; but carna hearts feel no other grievances than those that molest the body, an distress their worldly affairs. Talk to them of their liberty an property, tell them of waste committed upon their lands, or damage don to their houses, and they understand you very well; but speak of the bondage of sin, captivity to Satan, and liberty by Christ; tell of wrong done to their precious souls, and the hazard of their eterna welfare, then you bring strange things to their ears. Jesus plainl reminded them, that the man who practised any sin, was, in fact, slave to that sin, which was the case with most of them. Christ in the gospel offers us freedom, he has power to do this, and those who Christ makes free are really so. But often we see persons disputin about liberty of every kind, while they are slaves to some sinful lust.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

34. Whosoever committeth (pav o poiwn). Rev., more correctly, every one that committeth.

Sin (thn amartian). The definite article, the sin, shows that Jesus does not mean merely a simple act, but a life of sin. Compare 1 John iii. 4-8, and doeth the truth (John iii. 21); doeth the righteousness (1 John ii. 29). The servant (doulov). Or, a servant. Properly, a bond-servant or slave. See on Matt. xx. 26.

Of sin. A few authorities omit, and read whosoever committeth sin is a bond-servant. Compare Rom. vi. 17, 20.
