John 3:28-30

28You yourselvesG846 1areG3140 my witnessesG3140 that I saidG3004, ‘2I amG1510 not the 3ChristG5547,’ but, ‘I have beenG1510 sentG649 aheadG1715 of Him.’ 29He who hasG2192 the brideG3565 is 4the groomG3566; but the friendG5384 of the groomG3566, who standsG2476 and listensG191 to him, rejoicesG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the groom’sG3566 voiceG5456. SoG3767 thisG3778 5joyG5479 of mineG1699 has been madeG4137 fullG4137. 30He mustG1163 6increaseG837, but I must 7decreaseG1642.
