John 8:49-51
New English Translation

49 Jesus answered, “I am not possessed by a demon,[a] but I honor my Father—and yet[b] you dishonor me. 50 I am not trying to get[c] praise for myself.[d] There is one who demands[e] it, and he also judges.[f] 51 I tell you the solemn truth,[g] if anyone obeys[h] my teaching,[i] he will never see death.”[j]
