NASB | John 12:47 "If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 12:47 "If anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but to save the world. |
Bible Question: We read in John that Jesus said He did not come to judge. Yet, in other NT places it says Jesus will judge. How do we understand this in the correct way? |
Bible Answer: In His first coming -- His incarnation -- Christ did not enter into the world as a judge, but as a savior. The time of Christ's judgment (2 Corinthians 5:10) is still ahead of us (Revelation 22:12). |
