In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:

Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.

And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.

And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
