John 5:31-44

³¹If I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is not true; (If I testify about myself, my testimony is not accepted as true;)

³²another is that beareth witnessing of me, and I know that his witnessing is true, that he beareth of me. (but there is another who testifieth about me, and I know that his testimony is true, what he testifieth about me.)

³³Ye sent to John, and he bare witnessing to the truth. (Ye sent messengers to John, and he testified about the truth, or and he testified truthfully.)

³⁴But I take not witnessing of (any) man; but I say these things, that ye be safe. (But I do not need the testimony of anyone; but I say these things, so that ye can be saved.)

³⁵He was a lantern burning and shining, or giving light; but ye would (be) glad, or (would have) joy, (or rejoice), at an hour in his light.

³⁶But I have more witnessing than John, for the works that my Father gave to me to perform them or forsooth the works that my Father gave me that I perform them, those works that I do bear witnessing of me, that the Father sent me. (But I have a greater witness than John, or But I have better testimony than John’s, for the works that my Father gave to me to complete, or to finish, those works that I do testify about me, that the Father sent me.)

³⁷And the Father that sent me, he bare witnessing of me, (or And the Father who sent me, he testified about me). (But) Neither ye heard ever his voice, neither ye saw his likeness, or (his) form.

³⁸And ye have not his word dwelling in you; for ye believe not to him, whom he sent.

³⁹Seek ye the scriptures, in which ye guess to have everlasting life; and those it be, that bear witnessing of me. (Ye study the Scriptures, through which ye hope to gain eternal life; and they do indeed testify about me.)

⁴⁰And (yet) ye will not come to me, (so) that ye (can) have (eternal) life.

⁴¹I take not clearness of men; (I do not receive my glory, or my honour, from people;)

⁴²but I have known you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

⁴³I came in the name of my Father, and ye took not me (or but ye did not receive me). If another come in his own name, ye shall receive him.

⁴⁴How may ye believe, that receive glory each of (the) other, and ye seek not the glory that is of God alone? (How can ye believe, ye who receive your glory from one another, and seek not the glory that is from God alone?)
