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.

While accepting glory from one another, you 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 his writings,(L) how will you believe My words?”(M)
