John 5:39-47
English Standard Version
39 (A)You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and (B)it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet (C)you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 (D)I do not receive glory from people. 42 But (E)I know that you do not have (F)the love of God within you. 43 I have come (G)in my Father's name, and (H)you do not receive me. (I)If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and (J)do not seek the glory that comes from (K)the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, (L)on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for (M)he wrote of me. 47 But (N)if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

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?”
