John 3:27–36

²⁷John answered and said, A man can ^||yreceive nothing, except ^zit be given him from heaven. ²⁸Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ^aI am not the Christ, but ^bthat I am sent before him. ²⁹He that hath the bride is ^cthe bridegroom: but ^dthe friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, ^erejoiceth greatly because of ^fthe bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ^30gHe must increase, but I must decrease. ^31hHe that cometh ⁱfrom above ^kis above all: ^lhe that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: ^hhe that cometh ^lfrom heaven ^kis above all. ³²And what he hath ^mseen and ⁿheard, that he testifieth; and ^ono man receiveth his testimony. ³³He that hath received his testimony ^phath set to his seal that ^qGod is true. ^34rFor he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit ^sby measure unto him. ^35tThe Father loveth the Son, and ^uhath given all things into his hand. ^36xHe that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
