John 3:29 CPDV

²⁷  John responded and said: 'A man is not able to receive anything, unless it has been given to him from heaven.

²⁸  You yourselves offer testimony for me that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but that I have been sent before him.

²⁹  He who holds the bride is the groom. But the friend of the groom, who stands and listens to Him, rejoices joyfully at the voice of the groom. And so, this, my joy, has been fulfilled.

³⁰  He must increase, while I must decrease.

³¹  He who comes from above, is above everything. He who is from below, is of the earth, and he speaks about the earth. He who comes from heaven is above everything.
