John 5:31-47

31If I bearG3140 witnessG3140 of myself, my witnessG3140 isG1510 not trueG227. 32It isG1510 another that beareth witnessG3140 of me; and I know that the witnessG3140 which he witnesseth of me isG1510 trueG227. 33Ye have sentG649 unto JohnG2491, and he hath borne witnessG3140 unto the truthG225. 34But the witnessG3141 which I receiveG2983 is not from manG444: howbeit I sayG3004 these thingsG3778, that ye may be savedG4982. 35He wasG1510 the lampG3088 that burneth and shineth; and ye wereG1510 willingG2309 to rejoiceG21 for a season in his lightG5457. 36But the witnessG3140 which I have is greaterG3173 than that of JohnG2491; for the worksG2041 which the FatherG3962 hath givenG1325 me to accomplish, the very worksG2041 that I do, bear witnessG3140 of me, that the FatherG3962 hath sentG649 me. 37And the FatherG3962 that sentG3992 me, he hath borne witnessG3140 of me. Ye have neither heardG191 his voiceG5456 at any timeG4455, nor seenG3708 his formG1491. 38And ye have not his wordG3056 abidingG3306 in you: for whom he sentG649, him ye believeG4100 not. 39Ye searchG2045 the scripturesG1124, because ye thinkG1380 that in them ye have eternalG166 lifeG2222; and these areG1510 they which bearG3140 witnessG3140 of me; 40and ye willG2309 not comeG2064 to me, that ye may have lifeG2222. 41I receiveG2983 not gloryG1391 from menG444. 42But I knowG1097 you, that ye have not the loveG26 of GodG2316 in yourselves. 43I am comeG2064 in my Father’s nameG3686, and ye receiveG2983 me not: if another shall comeG2064 in his ownG2398 nameG3686, him ye will receiveG2983. 44HowG4459 can ye believeG4100, who receiveG2983 gloryG1391 oneG240 of another, and the gloryG1391 that cometh from the onlyG3441 GodG2316 ye seekG2212 not? 45ThinkG1380 not that I will accuseG2723 you to the FatherG3962: there isG1510 oneG3739 that accuseth you, even MosesG3475, on whom ye have set your hopeG1679. 46For if ye believedG4100 MosesG3475, ye would believeG4100 me; for he wroteG1125 of me. 47But if ye believeG4100 not his writings, howG4459 shall ye believeG4100 my words?
