John 5
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
21 Ref In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.
22 Ref The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son;
23 Ref So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.
24 Ref Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.
25 Ref Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.
26 Ref For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son to have life in himself.
27 Ref And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.
28 Ref Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead,
29 Ref And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.
30 Ref Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.
31 Ref If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.
32 Ref There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

21 Ref For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
22 Ref For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 Ref that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
24 Ref "Most assuredly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
25 Ref Most assuredly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.
26 Ref For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 Ref He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
28 Ref Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,
29 Ref and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
30 Ref I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
31 Ref "If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 Ref It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

21 Ref For as the Father raiseth the dead and giveth them life, even so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.
22 Ref For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;
23 Ref that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father that sent him.
24 Ref Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life.
25 Ref Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.
26 Ref For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:
27 Ref and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
28 Ref Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
29 Ref and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
30 Ref I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
31 Ref If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 Ref It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
