John 5:23

so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.

A Conservative Version

In The King James Version

In Context

22For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

24Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life.
