John 3:26-30
26And they cameG2064 to JohnG2491 and saidG3004 to him, “1RabbiG4461, He whoG3739 was with you 2beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, to whomG3739 you 3have testifiedG3140, beholdG2396, He is baptizingG907 and allG3956 are comingG2064 to Him.” 27JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “4A manG444 canG1410 receiveG2983 nothingG3756G3762 unlessG1437G3361 it 5has beenG1510 givenG1325 him from heavenG3772. 28You yourselvesG846 6are my witnessesG3140 that I saidG3004, ‘7I amG1510 not the 8ChristG5547,’ but, ‘I have beenG1510 sentG649 aheadG1715 of Him.’ 29He who hasG2192 the brideG3565 is 9the bridegroomG3566; but the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, who standsG2476 and hearsG191 him, rejoicesG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom’sG3566 voiceG5456. SoG3767 thisG3778 10joyG5479 of mineG1699 has been madeG4137 fullG4137. 30He mustG1163 increaseG837, but I must decreaseG1642.
