John 12:47-49
New English Translation
47 If anyone[a] hears my words and does not obey them,[b] I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.[c] 48 The one who rejects me and does not accept[d] my words has a judge;[e] the word[f] I have spoken will judge him at the last day. 49 For I have not spoken from my own authority,[g] but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me[h] what I should say and what I should speak.

New International Version
47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.(A) 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them(B) at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me(C) to say all that I have spoken.
