→Chapter 12
|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.
|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.
|I do not judge the one who hears the words I am speaking right now, but does not heed them: for I came so that I could save the world, not so that I could judge it.
|I do not judge the one who hears the words I am speaking right now, but does not heed them: for I came so that I could save the world, not so that I could judge it.
|"Words" in this verse is ῥῆμα, not λόγος. Where a λόγος in this context would be the totality of everything that Jesus says, the choice of "rhema" here narrows it down to words that are being spoken right now, particularly ones that applies to this current situation. The implication here is that Jesus is speaking SPECIFICALLY to the crowd standing directly in front of Him (or specifically to whoever is reading this RIGHT NOW), and talking specifically about what He is saying RIGHT NOW. Notice this contrast in the next verse. My translation reflects this implied meaning. The first clause is actually a conditional in Greek, and is structured more like it is presented in the KJV, but the emphasis of the sentence is more as it is presented here.
