New Testament

John 5:26-30 New Living Translation (NLT)

26. The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son.

27. And he has given him authority to judge everyone because he is the Son of Man.

28. Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God’s Son,

29. and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment.

30. I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will.
