Ye are of 'your' father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
Ye ben of þe fadir, þe deuel, and ye wolen do þe desyris of youre fadir. He was a mansleere fro þe bigynnyng, and he stood not in treuþe; for treuþe is not in hym. Whanne he spekith lesyng, he spekith of his owne; for he is a liere, and fadir of it.
