Next

Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

Yet {G2532} ye have {G1097} not {G3756} known {G1097} him {G846}; but {G1161} I {G1473} know {G1492} him {G846}: and {G2532} if {G1437} I should say {G2036},{G3754} I know {G1492} him {G846} not {G3756}, I shall be {G2071} a liar {G5583} like {G3664} unto you {G5216}: but {G235} I know {G1492} him {G846}, and {G2532} keep {G5083} his {G846} saying {G3056}.

Now you have not known him, but I do know him; indeed, if I were to say that I don’t know him, I would be a liar like you! But I do know him, and I obey his word.

You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.
