| | |For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. | | |For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. |
| − | |For the Father deeply loves the Son, and shows Him everything that He Himself does, and He will show Him even greater works than these, so that you may be amazed. | + | |Because the Father deeply loves the Son, and shows Him everything that He Himself does, and He will show Him even greater works than these, so that you may be amazed. |
| − | |Earlier, in 3:35, we saw that the Father has "agapao" for the Son, indicating how the Father SHOWS His love for the Son. The word for "love" here is phileo, indicating the deep feelings the Father has for the Son. The Father has BOTH phileo and agapao for the Son, indicating that the Father has deep feelings of love for the Son, and He SHOWS that love through how He treats the Son. This is a good lesson for all of us: we should have BOTH for our loved ones. | + | |Earlier, in 3:35, we saw that the Father has "agapao" for the Son, indicating how the Father SHOWS His love for the Son.

| | |That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. | | |That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. |
| − | | | + | |So that all people should honor the Son exactly as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. |
| − | | | + | |This is a purpose clause continued from verse 22. The Father has given the judgment of all people to the Son for the express purpose of making sure that all men honor the Son exactly the same as they honor the Father. Anything that can be interpreted as a form of honoring another would be included here: worship, service, love, song, words, etc. |
