He that commeth from heauen, is aboue all: 32 And what he hath seene and hearde, that he testifieth: and no man receaueth his testimonie. 33 He that hath receaued his testimonie, hath set to his seale, that God is true. 34 For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: For God geueth not the spirite by measure vnto hym. 35 The father loueth the sonne, and hath geuen all thynges into his hande. 36 He that beleueth on the sonne, hath euerlastyng lyfe: He that beleueth not the sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abydeth on hym.
