John 3:26-36

JuliaSmith(i) 26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast testified, behold, he immerses, and all come to him. 27 John answered and said, No man can receive anything except it be given him from heaven. 28 Ye yourselves testify to me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. 29 He having the bride is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy for the bridegroom's voice: therefore this my joy has been completed. 30 He must increase, and I must be diminished. 31 He coming from above is above all, he being of the earth is of earth, and speaks of earth: he coming from heaven is above all. 32 And what he saw and heard, this be testifies: and none receives his testimony. 33 He having received his testimony has fixed a seal that God is true. 34 For he whom God sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and he has given all things into his hand. 36 He believing in the Son has eternal life: and he not believing the Son shall not see life, but the anger of God remains upon him.
