31 (A)He who comes from above is above all; (B)the one who is only from the earth is of the earth and speaks of the earth. (C)He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 What He has seen and heard, of this He (D)testifies; and (E)no one accepts His testimony. 33 The one who has accepted His testimony (F)has certified that God is true. 34 For He whom God (G)sent speaks the words of God; (H)for He does not give the Spirit [a]sparingly. 35 (I)The Father loves the Son and (J)has entrusted all things to His hand. 36 The one who (K)believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who (L)does not [b]obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

The One Who Comes from Heaven

31 God's Son comes from heaven and is above all others. Everyone who comes from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all others. 32 He speaks about what he has seen and heard, and yet no one believes him. 33 But everyone who does believe him has shown that God is truthful. 34 The Son was sent to speak God's message, and he has been given the full power of God's Spirit.

35 (A) The Father loves the Son and has given him everything. 36 Everyone who has faith in the Son has eternal life. But no one who rejects him will ever share in that life, and God will be angry with them forever.
