John 3:29-34

29He who has the bride is 1the groom; but the friend of the groom, who stands and listens to him, rejoices greatly because of the groom’s voice. So this 2joy of mine has been made full. 30He must 3increase, but I must 4decrease.

31“5He who comes from above is above all; 6the one who is only from the earth is of the earth and speaks of the earth. 7He who comes from heaven is above all. 32What He has seen and heard, of this He 8testifies; and 9no one accepts His testimony. 33The one who has accepted His testimony 10has certified that God is true. 34For He whom God 11sent speaks the words of God; 12for He does not give the Spirit 13sparingly.
