John 5:39-47
New American Standard Bible
Testimony of the Scripture
39 [a](A)You examine the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is (B)those very Scriptures that testify about Me; 40 and yet you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. 41 (C)I do not receive glory from people; 42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not [b]receive Me; (D)if another comes in his own name, you will [c]receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you [d](E)accept [e]glory from one another and you do not seek (F)the [f]glory that is from (G)the one and only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is (H)Moses, in whom you have put your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for (I)he wrote about Me. 47 But (J)if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

39 “You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and it is they that testify on my behalf.(A) 40 Yet you refuse to come to me to have life. 41 I do not accept glory from humans. 42 But I know that you do not have the love of God in[a] you. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; if another comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can you believe when you accept glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the one who alone is God?[b](B) 45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope.(C) 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.(D) 47 But if you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
