22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,(A) 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.(B)

24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me(C) has eternal life(D) and will not be judged(E) but has crossed over from death to life.(F) 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come(G) when the dead will hear(H) 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(I) in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge(J) because he is the Son of Man.
