John 3:29-34

²⁹The bride belongs to the bridegroom. Now the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the voice of the bridegroom. This, then, is my joy made complete.

³⁰He must increase, but I must decrease.

³¹He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks about the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

³²He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.

³³He who has received his testimony has confirmed that God is true.

³⁴For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For he does not give the Spirit by measure.
