You do the works of your father

Jesus implies that their father is the devil. Alternate translation: "No! You are doing the things that your real father did" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

We were not born in sexual immorality

Here the Jewish leaders imply that Jesus does not know who his real father is. Alternate translation: "We do not know about you, but we are not illegitimate children" or "We were all born from proper marriages" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

we have one Father: God

Here the Jewish leaders claim God as their spiritual Father. This is an important title for God. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples)
