^5:22Furthermore, the Father does not judge⁴² anyone, but has assigned⁴³ all judgment to the Son, ^5:23so that all people⁴⁴ will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

^5:24“I tell you the solemn truth,⁴⁵ the one who hears⁴⁶ my message⁴⁷ and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned,⁴⁸ but has crossed over from death to life. ^5:25I tell you the solemn truth,⁴⁹ a time⁵⁰ is coming—and is now here—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. ^5:26For just as the Father has life in himself, thus he has granted the Son to have life in himself, ^5:27and he has granted the Son⁵¹ authority to execute judgment,⁵² because he is the Son of Man.

^5:28“Do not be amazed at this, because a time⁵³ is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice ^5:29and will come out—the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation.⁵⁴^5:30I can do nothing on my own initiative.⁵⁵ Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just,⁵⁶ because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.⁵⁷
