John 5:23-24 English Standard Version (ESV)
23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
John 5:23-24 New Living Translation (NLT)
23 so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him.
24 “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
John 5:23-24 New International Version (NIV)
23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
John 5:23-24 The Message (MSG)
20-23 “But you haven’t seen the half of it yet, for in the same way that the Father raises the dead and creates life, so does the Son. The Son gives life to anyone he chooses. Neither he nor the Father shuts anyone out. The Father handed all authority to judge over to the Son so that the Son will be honored equally with the Father. Anyone who dishonors the Son, dishonors the Father, for it was the Father’s decision to put the Son in the place of honor.
24 “It’s urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.
As it is taught to us to honor thy father and mother so it is also taught to us to honor the son Jesus Christ. Honor isn’t only a reward but a gift of respect as well. Those who dishonor the son also dishonor the father as well as dishonoring themselves. God shows honor by love to all men and honor of pride to all that believe in him. 24“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. They’re sins will not haunt them or hinder them for they have been saved by God’s Grace and have killed the old self to bring birth to their new self. They have been shown honor by God. We can also be shown honor by God but doing what is right and by believing in his word and talking with him regularly. He hears our thoughts on every level. He won’t judge us or turn us away because of our race, color or behavior nor will he abandon us. We are forever his children each and everyone of us.
No man can change that or take that away that is God’s gift of honor. One of God’s greatest honors is love he teaches us to love one another as he has loved us.
24 “Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.God accepts us no matter who we are, what we look like, how we act, we are his. He just requests nothing but love, honor, and respect
This is how we show honor to the son also showing honor to the father. Giving us new life in him. Giving us eternal life not of the law and works of the world.
