John 5:23 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

The whole point is that everyone should honor the Son just as much as they honor the Father. If you're not honoring the Son, then you're really not honoring the Father who sent him either.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

You can't truly honor God while ignoring Jesus — they're a package deal.
