John 3:31-36

MSG

NIV

31 "The One who comes from above is head and shoulders over other messengers from God. The earthborn is earthbound and speaks earth language; the heavenborn is in a league of his own.
31 The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.
32 He sets out the evidence of what he saw and heard in heaven. No one wants to deal with these facts.
32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.
33 But anyone who examines this evidence will come to stake his life on this: that God himself is the truth.
33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful.
34 "The One that God sent speaks God's words. And don't think he rations out the Spirit in bits and pieces.
34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
35 The Father loves the Son extravagantly. He turned everything over to him so he could give it away - a lavish distribution of gifts.
35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
36 That is why whoever accepts and trusts the Son gets in on everything, life complete and forever! And that is also why the person who avoids and distrusts the Son is in the dark and doesn't see life. All he experiences of God is darkness, and an angry darkness at that."
36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.
