³⁵ And then ^(A)a voice came from the cloud, saying, “^(B)This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!”

⁹ And having been ^(A)perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him,

¹⁵ “^(A)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “^(A)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(B)follow My word; and ^(C)My Father will love him, and We ^(D)will come to him and make Our dwelling with him.

²⁴ The one who does not love Me ^(A)does not follow My words; and ^(B)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

²³ But this is ^[a]what I commanded them, saying, ‘^(A)Obey My voice, and ^(B)I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you shall walk ^[b]entirely in the way which I command you, so that it may ^(C)go well for you.’

⁴⁷ If anyone hears My ^[a]teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for ^(A)I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. ^48 (B)The one who rejects Me and does not ^[b]accept My ^[c]teachings has one who judges him: ^(C)the word which I spoke. That will judge him on ^(D)the last day.

¹⁶ Do you not ^(A)know that the one to whom you present yourselves as ^(B)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of that same one whom you obey, either of ^(C)sin ^[a]resulting in death, or of obedience ^[b]resulting in righteousness?
