John 8:44

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
World English Bible (WEB)
Ye{G5210} are{G2075}{(G5748)} of{G1537} your father{G3962} the devil{G1228}, and{G2532} the lusts{G1939} of your{G5216} father{G3962} ye will{G2309}{(G5719)} do{G4160}{(G5721)}. He{G1565} was{G2258}{(G5713)} a murderer{G443} from{G575} the beginning{G746}, and{G2532} abode{G2476}{(G5707)}{(G5758)} not{G3756} in{G1722} the truth{G225}, because{G3754} there is{G2076}{(G5748)} no{G3756} truth{G225} in{G1722} him{G846}. When{G3752} he speaketh{G2980}{(G5725)} a lie{G5579}, he speaketh{G2980}{(G5719)} of{G1537} his own{G2398}: for{G3754} he is{G2076}{(G5748)} a liar{G5583}, and{G2532} the father{G3962} of it{G846}.
Strong's King James
(44) You are from your father the opposing-devil and you want to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and doesn't stand in the firm-truth because there isn't firm-truth in him. Whenever he speaks the deception, he speaks from himself because he's a deceiver and the father of it.
The F.O.G*
[44] You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘Ye are of a father—the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar—also his father.
