John Chapter 12, Verse 47
From BibleWiki
47: και εαν τις μου ακουση των ρηματων και μη πιστευση εγω ου κρινω αυτον ου γαρ ηλθον ινα κρινω τον κοσμον αλλ ινα σωσω τον κοσμον
47: And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him
not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
47: And if any man hear my words and keep them not, I do not judge
him for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
I judge him not, &c. Jn 8:15. It was not his present purpose to condemn men. He would come to condemn the guilty at a future time. At present he came to save them. hence he did not now even pronounce decisively on the condition of those who rejected him, but still gave them an opportunity to be saved.
