Ye yourselves bear me testimony, that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but that I have been sent before Him.' He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bride-groom who stands and hears him greatly rejoices because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy, therefore, has been made full. He must increase, but I must decrease. He That cometh from above is above all; he that is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth; He that cometh from Heaven is above all.

He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that disbelieves the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
