John 12:47-50

47 "If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for ¹I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 "²He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; ³the word I spoke is what will judge him at ⁴the last day.

49 "⁵For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me ⁶has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

50 "I know that ⁷His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak ⁸just as the Father has told Me."
