noyes John:5:31-47 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
If I bear witness of myself ,
my witness is not true .
*
There is another who beareth witness of me ;
and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true .
*
Ye have sent to John ,
and he hath borne witness to the truth .
*
But the testimony which I receive is not from man ;
but these things I say ,
that ye may be saved .
*
He was the burning and shining lamp :
and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light .
*
But the testimony which I have ,
is greater than that of John ;
for the works which the Father hath given me to perform ,
the works themselves which I do ,
bear witness of me ,
that the Father hath sent me .
*
And the Father who sent me ,
he hath borne witness of me .
Ye have neither heard his voice at any time ,
nor seen his form .
*
And ye have not his word abiding in you ;
for whom he sent ,
him ye believe not .
*
Ye search the Scriptures ,
because ye yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life ;
and it is they which testify of me ;
*
and ye are not willing to come to me ,
that ye may have life .
*
I receive not honor from men ;
*
but I know you ,
that ye have not the love of God in you .
*
I have 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 while ye receive honor from one another ,
and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is God ?
*
Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father ;
there is one that accuseth you ,
even Moses ,
in whom ye have placed your hope .
*
For if ye believed Moses ,
ye would believe me ;
for he wrote of me .
*
But if ye do not believe his writings ,
how will ye believe my words ?
