John 12:47
Compare all
45 And ahe who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.  
46 aI have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.  
47 And if anyone hears My words and does not1 believe, aI do not judge him; for bI did not come to judge the world but to save the world.  
48 aHe who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—bthe word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.  
49 For aI have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, bwhat I should say and what I should speak.  
50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I aspeak.”

John 12:47

And believe not - ͅ , And keep them not, is the reading of ABL, seven others; Syriac, Wheelock' s Persian, two of the Arabic, Coptic, Sahidic, Ethiopic, Armenian, later Syriac, Vulgate, six of the Itala, and some of the fathers.

A man must hear the words of Christ in order to believe them; and he must believe, in order to keep them; and he must keep them in order to his salvation.

I judge him not - I need not do it: the words of Moses and the prophets judge and condemn him. See the notes on John 3:17; John 5:45.
