³⁰ Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.

³¹ Now is this world to be judged: now will the ruler of this world be sent out.

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will make all men come to me.

³³ (This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

⁵ For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

²¹ 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 The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son;

²³ 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 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 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 For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son to have life in himself.

²⁷ And he has given him authority to be judge because he is the Son of man.

²⁸ 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 And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.

³⁰ 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 If I gave witness about myself, my witness would not be true.

³² There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

¹ Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings.

² One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.

³ Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval.

⁴ Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

⁵ This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

⁴ Against you, you only, have I done wrong, working that which is evil in your eyes; so that your words may be seen to be right, and you may be clear when you are judging.

¹ After these things there came to my ears a sound like the voice of a great band of people in heaven, saying, Praise to the Lord; salvation and glory and power be to our God:

² For true and upright are his decisions; for by him has the evil woman been judged, who made the earth unclean with the sins of her body; and he has given her punishment for the blood of his servants.

³ And again they said, Praise to the Lord. And her smoke went up for ever and ever.

⁴ And the four and twenty rulers and the four beasts went down on their faces and gave worship to God who was seated on the high seat, saying, Even so, praise to the Lord.

⁷ But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:

⁹ Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;

⁸ Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

¹⁴ God will be judge of every work, with every secret thing, good or evil.

⁶ Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades.

⁷ They have put on fire your holy place; they have made the place of your name unclean, pulling it down to the earth.

⁸ They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.

³⁸ And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.

³⁹ And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.

⁴⁰ These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

¹² So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

¹³ Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

¹⁴ I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.

¹⁵ And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

¹⁷ For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God?

² For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you.

³ And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

⁴ Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

⁵ You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.
