John 3:29-34

29He who has the bride is 1the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this 2joy of mine has been made full. 30He must increase, but I must decrease.

31“3He who comes from above is above all, 4he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. 5He who comes from heaven is above all. 32What He has seen and heard, of that He 6testifies; and 7no one receives His testimony. 33He who has received His testimony 8has set his seal to this, that God is true. 34For He whom God has 9sent speaks the words of God; 10 11for He gives the Spirit without measure.
