John 8:44-46
1599 Geneva Bible
44 (A)Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he hath been a murderer from the [a]beginning, and [b]abode not in the [c]truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his [d]own: for he is a liar, and the [e]father thereof.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 [f]Which of you can rebuke me of sin? and if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

John 8:44-46
New International Version
44 You belong to your father, the devil,(A) and you want to carry out your father’s desires.(B) He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.(C) 45 Yet because I tell the truth,(D) you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?
