(D)Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (E)whoever hears my word and (F)believes him who sent me has eternal life. He (G)does not come into judgment, but (H)has passed from death to life.
25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, (I)an hour is coming, and is now here, when (J)the dead will hear (K)the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear (L)will live. 26 (M)For as the Father has life in himself, (N)so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he (O)has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for (P)an hour is coming when (Q)all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, (R)those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
