Gospel

The Holy Gospel According to John 3: 31-36

3:31He 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.
3:32And what he has seen and heard, about this he testifies. And no one accepts his testimony.
3:33Whoever has accepted his testimony has certified that God is truthful.
3:34For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For God does not give the Spirit by measure.
3:35The Father loves the Son, and he has given everything into his hand.
3:36Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever is unbelieving toward the Son shall not see life; instead the wrath of God remains upon him.”
