29 ^fThe one who has the bride is the bridegroom. ^gThe friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, ^hrejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. 30 ⁱHe must increase, but I must decrease.” ^{▼▼Some interpreters hold that the quotation continues through verse 36}

31 ^kHe who comes from above ^lis above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and ^mspeaks in an earthly way. ⁿHe who comes from heaven ^ois above all. 32 ^pHe bears witness to what he has seen and heard, ^qyet no one receives his testimony. 33 Whoever receives his testimony ^rsets his seal to this, ^sthat God is true. 34 For he whom ^tGod has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit ^uwithout measure. 35 ^vThe Father loves the Son and ^whas given all things into his hand. 36 ^xWhoever believes in the Son has eternal life; ^ywhoever does not obey the Son shall not ^zsee life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
