John 3:31-36

31The one who comes from above is greater than all things. A person who comes from the earth belongs to the earth. A person like that speaks only about things that belong to the earth. But the one who comes from heaven is greater than all things.

32He tells people about the things that he has seen. He tells about what he has heard. But people do not believe his message.

33Anyone who does believe his message agrees that God is true.

34The one that God has sent speaks God's words. God has given his Spirit to fill that person completely.

35The Father loves the Son. He has given his Son authority over all things.

36Anyone who believes in the Son has life with God for ever. But anyone who refuses to obey the Son will never have life with God. God will continue to be angry with people like that.’
