John 3:29-36

²⁹He that hath a wife, is the husband or the spouse; but the friend of the spouse that standeth, and heareth him, joyeth with joy, for the voice of the spouse. Therefore in this thing my joy is fulfilled.

³⁰It behooveth him to wax, but me to be made less or to be diminished.

³¹He that came from above, is above all; he that is of the earth, speaketh of the earth; he that cometh from heaven, is above all.

³²And he witnesseth that thing that he hath seen, and heard, and no man taketh his witnessing.

³³But he that taketh his witnessing, hath confirmed that God is soothfast.

³⁴But he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for not to measure God giveth the Spirit.

³⁵The Father loveth the Son, and he hath given all things into his hand.

³⁶He that believeth in the Son, hath everlasting life; but he that is unbelieveful to the Son, shall not see everlasting life, but the wrath of God dwelleth on him.
