31 He who is coming from above is over all. He who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth. He who is coming from heaven is over all. 32 And what he has seen and heard, he is testifying of this, and no one receives his testimony. 33 He who has received his testimony has sealed this : that God is true. 34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit from measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life, but he who is disobedient to the Son will not be seeing life, but the wrath of God is remaining upon him.
