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.
45. 45IGBMa nʼihi na m na-ekwu eziokwu, ọ bụ ya mere unu ekwenyeghị na m.BSBBSB: But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!

55. 55IGBAmaara m onye ọ bụ nʼagbanyeghị na unu amaghị ya. Aga m abụ onye ụgha ma ọ bụrụ na m ga-asị na-amaghị m onye ọ bụ. Amaara m ya na-edebekwa okwu ya.BSBBSB: You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.
