Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. 30 aiHe must increase, but I must decrease.” ▼▼Some interpreters hold that the quotation continues through verse 36
31 akHe who comes from above alis above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and amspeaks in an earthly way. anHe who comes from heaven aois above all. 32 apHe bears witness to what he has seen and heard, aqyet no one receives his testimony. 33Whoever receives his testimony arsets his seal to this, asthat God is true. 34For he whom atGod has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit auwithout measure. 35 avThe Father loves the Son and awhas given all things into his hand. 36 axWhoever believes in the Son has eternal life; aywhoever does not obey the Son shall not azsee life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
