John 3:31-36

Expanded Bible

The One Who Comes from Heaven

³¹ “The One [^CJesus] who comes from above is ·greater than [^Labove] all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and talks about ·things on the earth [earthly matters]. But the One who comes from heaven is ·greater than [^Labove] all. ³² He ·tells [testifies to; bears witness to] what he has seen and heard, but no one ·accepts [receives] ·what he says [his testimony; 3:11]. ³³ Whoever ·accepts what he says [receives his testimony] has ·proven [certified; affirmed; ^Lset his seal] that God is true. ³⁴ [^LFor] The One whom God sent speaks the words of God, because God gives him the Spirit ·fully [^Lwithout measure/limit]. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has given ·him power over everything [him authority over all; ^Lall things into his hand]. ³⁶ Those who believe in the Son have eternal life, but those who ·do not obey [reject] the Son will ·never have [^Lnot see] life. God’s ·anger [wrath] ·stays [remains] on them.”
