nsb - John:3:22-36

nsb@John:3:22 @ After these things Jesus and his disciples traveled to the land of Judea where he stayed with them and baptized.

nsb@John:3:23 @ John was also baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there. People came and were baptized.

nsb@John:3:24 @ John had not yet been thrown into prison.

nsb@John:3:25 @ There was a controversy between some of Johns disciples and the Jews about purification.

nsb@John:3:26 @ They went to John and said: »Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, the one about whom you witnessed, he and the men with him baptize.«

nsb@John:3:27 @ John answered: »A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from heaven.

nsb@John:3:28 @ »You bear witness that I said I am not the Christ. I have been sent before him.

nsb@John:3:29 @ »He that has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens to him. He rejoices greatly because he hears the bridegrooms voice. This fills me with joy.

nsb@John:3:30 @ »He must increase and I must decrease.«

nsb@John:3:31 @ »He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks from an earthly viewpoint. He who comes from heaven is superior.

nsb@John:3:32 @ »He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no man accepts his testimony.

nsb@John:3:33 @ »He who receives his testimony confirms by his seal that God is true.

nsb@John:3:34 @ »For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God. God does not give the spirit by measure.

nsb@John:3:35 @ »The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.

nsb@John:3:36 @ »He who puts active faith in the Son has everlasting life. He who disobeys* the Son will not see life for the wrath of God remains upon him.«
