John 12:47

Belief and Unbelief

46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.47As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.48There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
