John:5:25-47
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Verily ,
verily ,
I say unto you ,
The hour is coming ,
and now is ,
when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God :
and they that hear shall live .
*
For as the Father hath life in himself ;
so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself ;
*
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also ,
because he is the Son of man .
*
Marvel not at this :
for the hour is coming ,
in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice ,
*
And shall come forth ;
they that have done good ,
unto the resurrection of life ;
and they that have done evil ,
unto the resurrection of damnation .
*
I can of mine own self do nothing :
as I hear ,
I judge :
and my judgment is just ;
because I seek not mine own will ,
but the will of the Father which hath sent me .
*
If I bear witness of myself ,
my witness is not true .
*
There is another that beareth witness of me ;
and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true .
*
Ye sent unto John ,
and he bare witness unto the truth .
*
But I receive not testimony from man :
but these things I say ,
that ye might be saved .
*
He was a burning and a shining light :
and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light .
*
But I have greater witness than that of John :
for the works which the Father hath given me to finish ,
the same works that I do ,
bear witness of me ,
that the Father hath sent me .
*
And the Father himself ,
which hath sent me ,
hath borne witness of me .
Ye have neither heard his voice at any time ,
nor seen his shape .
*
And ye have not his word abiding in you :
for whom he hath sent ,
him ye believe not .
*
Search the scriptures ;
for in them ye think ye have eternal life :
and they are they which testify of me .
*
And ye will not come to me ,
that ye might have life .
*
I receive not honour from men .
*
But I know you ,
that ye have not the love of God in you .
*
I am come in my Father '
s name ,
and ye receive me not :
if another shall come in his own name ,
him ye will receive .
*
How can ye believe ,
which receive honour one of another ,
and seek not the honour that cometh from God only ?
*
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father :
there is one that accuseth you ,
even Moses ,
in whom ye trust .
*
For had ye believed Moses ,
ye would have believed me :
for he wrote of me .
*
But if ye believe not his writings ,
how shall ye believe my words ?
