John 3:21-31

21But he who 1practicesG4160 the truthG225 comesG2064 to the LightG5457, soG2443 that his deedsG2041 may be manifestedG5319 as having beenG1510 wroughtG2038 in GodG2316.”

22AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 JesusG2424 and His 2disciplesG3101 cameG2064 into the landG1093 of JudeaG2453, and thereG1563 He was spendingG1304 timeG1304 with them and 3baptizingG907. 23JohnG2491 alsoG2532 was baptizingG907 in AenonG137 nearG1451 SalimG4530, becauseG3754 there was muchG4183 waterG5204 thereG1563; and people were comingG3854 and were being baptizedG907-- 24for 4JohnG2491 had not yetG3768 beenG1510 thrownG906 into prisonG5438.

25ThereforeG3767 thereG1096 aroseG1096 a discussionG2214 on the part of John’sG2491 disciplesG3101 with a JewG2453 aboutG4012 5purificationG2512. 26And they cameG2064 to JohnG2491 and saidG3004 to him, “6RabbiG4461, He whoG3739 was with you 7beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, to whomG3739 you 8have testifiedG3140, beholdG2396, He is baptizingG907 and allG3956 are comingG2064 to Him.” 27JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “9A manG444 canG1410 receiveG2983 nothingG3756G3762 unlessG1437G3361 it 10has beenG1510 givenG1325 him from heavenG3772. 28You yourselvesG846 11are my witnessesG3140 that I saidG3004, ‘12I amG1510 not the 13ChristG5547,’ but, ‘I have beenG1510 sentG649 aheadG1715 of Him.’ 29He who hasG2192 the brideG3565 is 14the bridegroomG3566; but the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, who standsG2476 and hearsG191 him, rejoicesG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom’sG3566 voiceG5456. SoG3767 thisG3778 15joyG5479 of mineG1699 has been madeG4137 fullG4137. 30He mustG1163 increaseG837, but I must decreaseG1642.

31“16He who comesG2064 from aboveG509 is aboveG1883 allG3956, 17he who is of the earthG1093 is from the earthG1093 and speaksG2980 of the earthG1093. 18He who comesG2064 from heavenG3772 is aboveG1883 allG3956.
