OET-RV JHN 8:44

44 is because you come from your father, the devil, and you want to do what your father wants. But he was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stick to the truth because there’s no truth in him. Whenever he tells lies, he’s speaking from his own nature, because he’s a liar and the source of lying.

OET-LV JHN 8:44

44 You_all are of the father the devil, and you_all_are_wanting to_be_doing the desires of_the father of_you_all.
That one was a_murderer from the_beginning, and has_ not _stood in the truth, because truth is not in him.
Whenever he_may_be_speaking the falsehood, he_is_speaking from his own, because he_is a_liar, and the father of_it.
