John 3:29-35

²⁹he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.

³⁰'Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;

³¹he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all.

³²'And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;

³³he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;

³⁴for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;

³⁵the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;
