John 5:42-44

New International Reader's Version

⁴² But I know you. I know that you do not have love for God in your hearts. ⁴³ I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. But if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. ⁴⁴ You accept praise from one another. But you do not seek the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe?
