The One from Heaven

31 The one who comes from above(A) is above all. The one who is from the earth is earthly and speaks in earthly terms.[a] The one who comes from heaven is above all.(B) 32 He testifies(C) to what he has seen and heard, and yet no one accepts his testimony. 33 The one who has accepted his testimony has affirmed that God is true.(D) 34 For the one whom God sent speaks God’s words, since he[b] gives the Spirit(E) without measure. 35 The Father loves the Son(F) and has given all things into his hands.(G) 36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who rejects the Son[c] will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him.(H)
