SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:31

¶ Y decía Jess a los judíos que le habían creído: Si vosotros permanecireis en mi palabra, seris verdaderamente mis discípulos;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 8:31

Verse 31. If ye continue in my word] Or, in this doctrine of mine. It is not enough to receive God's truth-we must retain and walk in it. And it is only when we receive the truth, love it, keep it, and walk in it, that we are the genuine disciples of Christ.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 31. Then said Jesus to those Jews that believed on him , etc.] For he knew instantly who they were, and when they believed on him; and therefore he immediately turned himself to them, and thus addressed them; if ye continue in my word ; meaning the Gospel, called his, because he was both the author, and preacher, and sum, and substance of it: and to continue in it, is having cordially received it, to abide by it, and hold it fast, and not to be moved from it, by the temptations of Satan; the cunning of those that lie in wait to deceive; nor by the revilings and persecutions, the frowns and flatteries of men: and when men continue thus steadfast in it, and faithful to it, it is an evidence that it has come with power, and has a place in their hearts, and that they are the true followers of Christ: then are ye my disciples indeed ; there are two sorts of disciples of Christ; some are only nominal, and merely in profession such; and these sometimes draw back from him, discontinue in his word, and go out from among his people; which shows that they never were of them, nor are the true disciples of Jesus; for the genuine disciples of Christ continue in his Gospel, hold fast to him, the head, and remain with his people; which to do to the end, is an evidence, of their being disciples indeed.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 30-36 - Such power attended our Lord's words, that many were convinced, an professed to believe in him. He encouraged them to attend his teaching rely on his promises, and obey his commands, notwithstanding all temptations to evil. Thus doing, they would be his disciples truly; an by the teaching of his word and Spirit, they would learn where their hope and strength lay. Christ spoke of spiritual liberty; but carna hearts feel no other grievances than those that molest the body, an distress their worldly affairs. Talk to them of their liberty an property, tell them of waste committed upon their lands, or damage don to their houses, and they understand you very well; but speak of the bondage of sin, captivity to Satan, and liberty by Christ; tell of wrong done to their precious souls, and the hazard of their eterna welfare, then you bring strange things to their ears. Jesus plainl reminded them, that the man who practised any sin, was, in fact, slave to that sin, which was the case with most of them. Christ in the gospel offers us freedom, he has power to do this, and those who Christ makes free are really so. But often we see persons disputin about liberty of every kind, while they are slaves to some sinful lust.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

31. Believed on Him (pepisteukotav autw). Note the different phrase, distinguishing the Jews from the mixed company in ver. 30. Rev., rightly, believed Him.

If ye continue (ean umeiv meinhte). The emphasis is on the ye, addressed to those whose faith was rudimentary; who believed Him, but did not yet believe on Him. Rev., abide.

In my word (en tw logw tw emw). Literally, in the word which is mine: peculiarly mine, characteristic of me. The expression is intentionally stronger than my word. Compare my love (xv. 9).

Indeed (alhqwv). Literally, truly; as Rev. As those who believe on me, not as those who are moved by temporary excitement to admit my claims.
