John 3:27-30

27JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “1A manG444 canG1410 receiveG2983 nothingG3756G3762 unlessG1437G3361 it 2has beenG1510 givenG1325 him from heavenG3772. 28You yourselvesG846 3are my witnessesG3140 that I saidG3004, ‘4I amG1510 not the 5ChristG5547,’ but, ‘I have beenG1510 sentG649 aheadG1715 of Him.’ 29He who hasG2192 the brideG3565 is 6the bridegroomG3566; but the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, who standsG2476 and hearsG191 him, rejoicesG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom’sG3566 voiceG5456. SoG3767 thisG3778 7joyG5479 of mineG1699 has been madeG4137 fullG4137. 30He mustG1163 increaseG837, but I must decreaseG1642.
