John 3:19-36 ▼

19 And this is the condempnation: that lyght is come into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then lyght, because their deedes were euyll.

20 For euery one that euyll doeth, hateth the lyght: neither commeth to the light, lest his deedes shoulde be reproued.

21 But he that doeth trueth, cometh to the lyght, yt his deedes may be knowen, howe that they are wrought in God.

22 After these thynges, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iurie, and there he taryed with the, & baptized.

23 And Iohn also baptized in Enon, besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

24 For Iohn was not yet cast into prison.

25 And there arose a question betwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifiyng.

26 And they came vnto Iohn, and sayde vnto hym: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyonde Iordane, to whom thou barest witnesse, beholde the same baptizeth, and all men come to hym.

27 Iohn aunswered, and sayde: A man can receaue nothyng, except it be geuen hym from heauen.

28 Ye your selues are witnesses, howe that I sayde I am not Christe, but am sent before hym.

29 He that hath ye bride, is the bridegrome. But the friende of the brydegrome, which standeth & heareth him, reioyceth greatly because of ye brydegromes voyce. This my ioy therfore is fulfylled.

30 He must increace, but I must decreace.

31 He that commeth from an hye, is aboue all: He that is of the earth, is earthlye, and speaketh of the earth. He that commeth from heauen, is aboue all:

32 And what he hath seene and hearde, that he testifieth: and no man receaueth his testimonie.

33 He that hath receaued his testimonie, hath set to his seale, that God is true.

34 For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: For God geueth not the spirite by measure vnto hym.

35 The father loueth the sonne, and hath geuen all thynges into his hande.

36 He that beleueth on the sonne, hath euerlastyng lyfe: He that beleueth not the sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abydeth on hym.
