John:5:31-47
Seeker Overlay ON
*
If I bear witness concerning myself ,
my witness is not true .
*
It is another who bears witness concerning me ,
and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true .
*
Ye have sent unto John ,
and he has borne witness to the truth .
*
But I do not receive witness from man ,
but I say this that ye might be saved .
*
He was the burning and shining lamp ,
and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light .
*
But I have the witness [
that is ]
greater than [
that ]
of John ;
for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them ,
the works themselves which I do ,
bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me .
*
And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me .
Ye have neither heard his voice at any time ,
nor have seen his shape ,
*
and ye have not his word abiding in you ;
for whom he hath sent ,
him ye do not believe .
*
Ye search the scriptures ,
for ye think that in them ye have life eternal ,
and they it is which bear witness concerning me ;
*
and ye will not come to me that ye might have life .
*
I do not receive glory from men ,
*
but I know you ,
that ye have not the love of God in you .
*
I am come in my Father '
s name ,
and ye receive me not ;
if another come in his own name ,
him ye will receive .
*
How can ye believe ,
who receive glory one of another ,
and seek not the glory which [
comes ]
from God alone ?
*
Think not that I will accuse you to the Father :
there is [
one ]
who accuses you ,
Moses ,
on whom ye trust ;
*
for if ye had believed Moses ,
ye would have believed me ,
for he wrote of me .
*
But if ye do not believe his writings ,
how shall ye believe my words ?
