John 3:28-36 ▼

28 you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been sent before Him;

29 He who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled.

30 It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;

31 He who is coming from above is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; He who is coming from Heaven is above all.

32 And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;

33 he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;

34 for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;

35 the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;

36 he who is believing in the Son has continuous life; and he who is not believing the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
