wmth - John:5:31-47

wmth@John:5:31 @ »If I give testimony concerning myself, my testimony cannot be accepted.«

wmth@John:5:32 @ There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me.

wmth@John:5:33 @ »You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness to the truth.«

wmth@John:5:34 @ But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; though I say all this in order that you may be saved.

wmth@John:5:35 @ He was the lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you were willing to be gladdened by his light.

wmth@John:5:36 @ »But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion –the very work which I am doing– affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me.«

wmth@John:5:37 @ And the Father who sent me, has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.

wmth@John:5:38 @ Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse to believe Him whom has sent.

wmth@John:5:39 @ »You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me;«

wmth@John:5:40 @ and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life.

wmth@John:5:41 @ »I do not accept glory from man,

wmth@John:5:42 @ but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do not really love God.«

wmth@John:5:43 @ I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.

wmth@John:5:44 @ How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes from the only God?

wmth@John:5:45 @ »Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests.

wmth@John:5:46 @ For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.

wmth@John:5:47 @ But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?«
