John 5:31-40 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.… A man offers you a note. You are not quite sure about it. You say to him, "I don't know. Hold on; I'll let you know in half an hour"; and away you run, round the corner. Your lawyer lives near by. You show him the note. "Such a one offered me this. I thought I'd just speak to you about it. What would you do?" "Better have nothing to do with it," says the lawyer, shaking his head. You run back, and say to the man, "I've concluded not to take that note." Then some transaction is urged upon you. You hesitate. You don't know exactly whether it will stand in law. "Wait," you say, "wait a minute — I can't decide yet"; and away you go, round the corner. "Oh, yes," says your lawyer, "that's all perfectly right and safe"; and back you run, and the matter is settled. He is the "man of your counsel." Just in this way should you consult the Bible in regard to all the actions of your life. Parallel Verses KJV: If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. |
