John 3:25-36

Godbey(i) 25 And there was a disputation of the disciples of John, concerning purifying. 26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, He who is with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all are coming to Him. 27 John responded and said, No man is able to receive anything, unless it may have been given unto him from heaven. 28 You are witnessing to me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him. 29 The one having the bride is the Bridegroom: but the friend of the Bridegroom is the one standing and hearing him, rejoiceth with joy on account of the Bridegroom: This, my joy has been made complete. 30 It behooveth Him to increase, and me to decrease. 31 He that cometh from above is above all; 32 the one being of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. The one coming from heaven witnesses what He has seen and heard, and no one receives His testimony. 33 The one having received His testimony hath set his seal, that God is true. 34 For whom God sent speaketh the words of God: for He does not give His spirit by measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things in His hands. 36 He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.
