John 3:28-36 ▼

28 You? yourselves testify to me that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I am sent before Him.’

29 The one having the bride is the bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, the one standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

30 It is necessary for Him to increase, but for me to decrease.

31 The One coming from above is above all. The one being from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth. The One coming from heaven is above all.

32 What He has seen and heard, to this He testifies, and no one receives His testimony.

33 The one having received His testimony has sealed that God is true.

34 For the One whom God sent speaks the words of God, for He gives the Spirit without measure.

35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.

36 The one believing in the Son has eternal life; but the one not obeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
