John Chapter 5
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
5:38. And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not.
5:39. Search the scriptures: for you think in them to have life everlasting. And the same are they that give testimony of me.
Or.... You search the scriptures. Scrutamini.... It is not a command for all to read the scriptures; but a reproach to the Pharisees, that reading the scriptures as they did, and thinking to find everlasting life in them, they would not receive him to whom all those scriptures gave testimony, and through whom alone they could have that true life.
5:40. And you will not come to me that you may have life.
5:41. I receive not glory from men.
5:42. But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.
5:43. I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
5:44. How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek?
5:45. Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust.
5:46. For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also: for he wrote of me.
5:47. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
