John:3:26-36
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And they came unto John ,
and said unto him ,
Rabbi ,
he that was with thee beyond Jordan ,
to whom thou barest witness ,
behold ,
the same baptizeth ,
and all men come to him .
*
John answered and said ,
A man can receive nothing ,
except it be given him from heaven .
*
Ye yourselves bear me witness ,
that I said ,
I am not the Christ ,
but that I am sent before him .
*
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom :
but the friend of the bridegroom ,
which standeth and heareth him ,
rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom '
s voice :
this my joy therefore is fulfilled .
*
He must increase ,
but I must decrease .
*
He that cometh from above is above all :
he that is of the earth is earthly ,
and speaketh of the earth :
he that cometh from heaven is above all .
*
And what he hath seen and heard ,
that he testifieth ;
and no man receiveth his testimony .
*
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true .
*
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God :
for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him .
*
The Father loveth the Son ,
and hath given all things into his hand .
*
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life :
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life ;
but the wrath of God abideth on him .
