John 5:39-47
Christian Standard Bible
39 You pore over the Scriptures(A) because you think you have eternal life in them, and yet they testify about me.(B) 40 But you are not willing(C) to come to me(D) so that you may have life.
41 “I do not accept glory(E) from people, 42 but I know you—that you have no love for God(F) within you. 43 I have come in my Father’s name,(G) and yet you don’t accept me.(H) If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can you believe, since you accept glory from one another but don’t seek the glory that comes from the only(I) God?(J) 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses,(K) on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. 47 But if you don’t believe what he wrote,(L) how will you believe my words?”(M)

John 5:39-47
Common English Bible
39 Examine the scriptures, since you think that in them you have eternal life. They also testify about me, 40 yet you don’t want to come to me so that you can have life.
41 “I don’t accept praise from people, 42 but I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in you. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If others come in their own name, you receive them. 44 How can you believe when you receive praise from each other but don’t seek the praise that comes from the only God?
45 “Don’t think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, the one in whom your hope rests. 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because Moses wrote about me. 47 If you don’t believe the writings of Moses, how will you believe my words?”
