22 The Father judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son,(A) 23 so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.(B) 24 Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and does not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.(C)

25 “Very truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and is now here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.(D) 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself, 27 and he has given him authority to execute judgment because he is the Son of Man.(E) 28 Do not be astonished at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and will come out: those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.(F)

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.

28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming(K) 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.(L) 30 By myself I can do nothing;(M) I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just,(N) for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.(O)
