Hee that commeth from aboue, is aboue all: hee that is of the earth, is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: hee that cōmeth from heauen is aboue all:
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth, and no man receiueth his testimony:
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
