John 5:23-47
23ThatG2443 allG3956 men should honourG5091 the SonG3588G5207, even asG2531 they honourG5091 the FatherG3588G3962. He that honourethG5091 notG3361 the SonG3588G5207 honourethG5091 notG3756 the FatherG3588G3962 which hath sentG3992 himG846. 24VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, He thatG3588 hearethG191 myG1473 wordG3588G3056, andG2532 believethG4100 on him that sentG3992 meG1473, hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 shallG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 intoG1519 condemnationG2920; butG235 is passedG3327 fromG1537 deathG3588G2288 untoG1519 lifeG3588G2222. 25VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, The hourG5610 is comingG2064, andG2532 nowG3568 isG1510, whenG3753 the deadG3498 shall hearG191 the voiceG3588G5456 of the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316: andG2532 they that hearG191 shall liveG2198. 26ForG1063 asG5618 the FatherG3588G3962 hathG2192 lifeG2222 inG1722 himselfG1438; soG3779 hath he givenG1325 to the SonG3588G5207 to haveG2192 lifeG2222 inG1722 himselfG1438; 27AndG2532 hath givenG1325 himG846 authorityG1849 to executeG4160 judgmentG2920 alsoG2532, becauseG3754 he isG1510 the SonG5207 of manG444. 28MarvelG2296 notG3361 at thisG3778: forG3754 the hourG5610 is comingG2064, inG1722 the whichG3739 allG3956 that areG3588 inG1722 the gravesG3588G3419 shall hearG191 hisG846 voiceG3588G5456, 29AndG2532 shall come forthG1607; they that have doneG3588G4160 goodG3588G18, untoG1519 the resurrectionG386 of lifeG2222; andG1161 they that have doneG3588G4238 evilG3588G5337, untoG1519 the resurrectionG386 of damnationG2920. 30IG1473 canG1410 ofG575 mine own selfG1683 doG4160 nothingG3756G3762: asG2531 I hearG191, I judgeG2919: andG2532 myG3588G1699 judgmentG3588G2920 isG1510 justG1342; becauseG3754 I seekG2212 notG3756 mine ownG3588G1699 willG3588G2307, butG235 the willG3588G2307 of the FatherG3962 which hath sentG3588G3992 meG1473. 31IfG1437 IG1473 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 myselfG1683, myG1473 witnessG3588G3141 isG1510 notG3756 trueG227. 32
There isG1510 anotherG243 that beareth witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1473; andG2532 I knowG1492 thatG3754 the witnessG3588G3141 whichG3739 he witnessethG3140 ofG4012 meG1473 isG1510 trueG227. 33YeG4771 sentG649 untoG4314 JohnG2491, andG2532 he bare witnessG3140 unto the truthG3588G225. 34ButG1161 IG1473 receiveG2983 notG3756 testimonyG3588G3141 fromG3844 manG444: butG235 these thingsG3778 I sayG3004, thatG2443 yeG4771 might be savedG4982. 35HeG1565 wasG1510 aG3588G3088 burningG2545 andG2532 a shiningG5316 lightG3588G3088: andG1161 yeG4771 were willingG2309 forG4314 a seasonG5610 to rejoiceG21 inG1722 hisG846 lightG3588G5457. 36
ButG1161 IG1473 haveG2192 greaterG3173 witnessG3588G3141 thanG3588G2491 that of JohnG3588G2491: forG1063 the worksG2041 whichG3739 the FatherG3588G3962 hath givenG1325 meG1473 toG2443 finishG5048, the sameG846 worksG3588G2041 thatG3739 IG1473 doG4160, bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1473, thatG3754 the FatherG3588G3962 hath sentG649 meG1473. 37AndG2532 the FatherG3962 himselfG846, which hath sentG3992 meG1473, hath borne witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1473. Ye haveG191 neitherG3777 heardG191 hisG846 voiceG5456 at any timeG4455, norG3777 seenG3708 hisG846 shapeG1491. 38AndG2532 ye haveG2192 notG3756 hisG846 wordG3588G3056 abidingG3306 inG1722 youG4771: forG3754 whomG3739 heG1565 hath sentG649, himG3778 yeG4771 believeG4100 notG3756.
39SearchG2045 the scripturesG3588G1124; forG3754 inG1722 themG846 yeG4771 thinkG1380 ye haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222: andG2532 theyG1565 areG1510 they which testifyG3588G3140 ofG4012 meG1473. 40AndG2532 ye willG2309 notG3756 comeG2064 toG4314 meG1473, thatG2443 ye might haveG2192 lifeG2222. 41I receiveG2983 notG3756 honourG1391 fromG3844 menG444. 42ButG235 I knowG1097 youG4771, thatG3754 ye haveG2192 notG3756 the loveG3588G26 of GodG3588G2316 inG1722 youG1438. 43IG1473 am comeG2064 inG1722 myG1473 Father’sG3588G3962 nameG3588G3686, andG2532 ye receiveG2983 meG1473 notG3756: ifG1437 anotherG243 shall comeG2064 inG1722 his ownG2398 nameG3588G3686, himG1565 ye will receiveG2983. 44HowG4459 canG1410 yeG4771 believeG4100, which receiveG2983 honourG1391 oneG240 ofG3844 anotherG240, andG2532 seekG2212 notG3756 the honourG3588G1391 thatG3588 cometh fromG3844 GodG2316 onlyG3441? 45DoG1380 notG3361 thinkG1380 thatG3754 IG1473 will accuseG2723 youG4771 toG4314 the FatherG3588G3962: there isG1510 one that accusethG2723 youG4771, even MosesG3475, inG1519 whomG3739 yeG4771 trustG1679. 46ForG1063 hadG1487 ye believedG4100 MosesG3475, ye would have believedG4100 meG1473: forG1063 heG1565 wroteG1125 ofG4012 meG1473. 47ButG1161 ifG1487 ye believeG4100 notG3756 hisG1565 writingsG1121, howG4459 shall ye believeG4100 myG1699 wordsG4487?
