He that commeth from heauen, is aboue all, ³² and what he hath sene and hearde: that he testifyeth: but no man receiueth his testimony. ³³ Howbeit he that hath receiueth his testimony hath set to his seale that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: For God geueth not the spirite by measure. ³⁵ The father loueth the sonne and hath geuen all thinges into his hand. ³⁶ He that beleueth on the sonne, hath euerlasting life, and he that beleueth not the sonne shall not se life: but the wrath of God abydeth on him.

And to whome is the arme of the Lorde opened? ³⁹ Therfore coulde they not beleue, because that Esayas sayth agayne: ⁴⁰ he hath blynded theyr eyes and hardened theyr hertes, that they shoulde not se with theyr eyes, and vnderstand with theyr hertes, and shoulde be conuerted, and I shoulde heale them. ⁴¹ Such thynges said Esayas when he sawe hys glorye, and spake of hym. ⁴² Neuerthelesse among the chief rulers many beleued on hym.

²⁰ But if our hertes condempne vs, God is greater then our hertes, and knoweth all thinges.
