John 3:29-34
29He who hasG2192 the brideG3565 is 1the bridegroomG3566; but the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, who standsG2476 and hearsG191 him, rejoicesG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom’sG3566 voiceG5456. SoG3767 thisG3778 2joyG5479 of mineG1699 has been madeG4137 fullG4137. 30He mustG1163 increaseG837, but I must decreaseG1642.
31“3He who comesG2064 from aboveG509 is aboveG1883 allG3956, 4he who is of the earthG1093 is from the earthG1093 and speaksG2980 of the earthG1093. 5He who comesG2064 from heavenG3772 is aboveG1883 allG3956. 32WhatG3739 He has seenG3708 and heardG191, of that He 6testifiesG3140; and 7noG3762 oneG3762 receivesG2983 His testimonyG3140. 33He who has receivedG2983 His testimonyG3141 8has setG4972 his sealG4972 to this, that GodG2316 is trueG227. 34For He whomG3739 GodG2316 has 9sentG649 speaksG2980 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316; 1011for He givesG1325 the SpiritG4151 withoutG3756G1537 measureG3358.
