John 5:40-47

⁴⁰But you refuse ◄to come to me/to believe my message► in order that you may have eternal life.

⁴¹It does not matter to me whether people praise me.

⁴²But you want people to praise you. I know that within yourselves you do not love God.

⁴³Although I have come to earth with my Father's authority MTY, you do not accept me. But if someone else comes with his own authority MTY, you accept him!

⁴⁴You accept your praising each other, but you do not try to do things that will result in God himself praising you. So ◄there is no way you can believe in me!/how can you believe my message?► RHQ

⁴⁵But do not think that I am the one who will accuse you while my Father is listening! No, it is Moses who will accuse you! You thought that he would defend you.

⁴⁶Moses wrote about me, so if you had believed what he wrote, you would have believed what I said

⁴⁷But because you did not believe what he wrote about me, ◄you will certainly not believe what I say!/how will you believe what I say?► RHQ”
