John 5:24-29

²⁴In truth I tell you that the person who listens to my message and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come under condemnation, but has already passed out of death into life.

²⁵In truth I tell you that a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and when those who listen will live.

²⁶For, just as the Father has inherent life within him, so also he has granted to the Son to have inherent life within him;

²⁷and, because he is Son of Man, he has also given him authority to act as judge.

²⁸Do not wonder at this; for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice,

²⁹and will come out — those who have done good rising to life, and those who have lived evil lives rising for condemnation.
