John 5:21-30

New International Version

²¹ For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,^(A) even so the Son gives life^(B) to whom he is pleased to give it. ²² Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,^{(C) 23} that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.^(D)

²⁴ “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me^(E) has eternal life^(F) and will not be judged^(G) but has crossed over from death to life.^{(H) 25} Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come^(I) when the dead will hear^(J) the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life^(K) in himself. ²⁷ And he has given him authority to judge^(L) because he is the Son of Man.

²⁸ “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming^(M) when all who are in their graves will hear his voice ²⁹ and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.^{(N) 30} By myself I can do nothing;^(O) I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just,^(P) for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.^(Q)
