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.
