John 3:27–36

²⁷John answered and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.

²⁸You yourselves do bear me witness that I said that I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.

²⁹He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth Him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.

³⁰He must increase: but I must decrease.

³¹He that cometh from above is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven is above all.

³²And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.

³³He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

³⁴For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.

³⁵The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.

³⁶He that believeth in the Son hath life everlasting: but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him.
