l hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear
shall live.
5:26. For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given to the
Son also to have life in himself.
5:27. And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son
of man.
5:28. Wonder not at this: for the hour cometh wherein all that are in
the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.
5:29. And they that have done good things shall come forth unto the
resurrection of life: but they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of judgment.
Unto the resurrection of judgment... That is, condemnation.
5:30. I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge. And my
judgment is just: because I seek not my own will but the will of him
