¹⁶ For God so loved^(A) the world that he gave^(B) his one and only Son,^(C) that whoever believes^(D) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.^{(E) 17} For God did not send his Son into the world^(F) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.^{(G) 18} Whoever believes in him is not condemned,^(H) but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.^(I)

²⁵ Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come^(A) when the dead will hear^(B) 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^(C) in himself. ²⁷ And he has given him authority to judge^(D) because he is the Son of Man.

²⁸ “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming^(E) 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.^(F)

²⁴ Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection^(C) at the last day.”^(D)

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am^(E) the resurrection and the life.^(F) The one who believes^(G) in me will live, even though they die; ²⁶ and whoever lives by believing^(H) in me will never die.^(I) Do you believe this?”

²⁷ “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah,^(J) the Son of God,^(K) who is to come into the world.”^(L)
