Psalm 119:17-24  (World English Bible)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do good to your servant.<\/span>
\n    <\/span>I will live and I will obey your word.<\/span><\/span>
\n18 <\/sup>Open my eyes,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>that I may see wondrous things out of your law.<\/span><\/span>
\n19 <\/sup>I am a stranger on the earth.<\/span>
\n    <\/span>Don\u2019t hide your commandments from me.<\/span><\/span>
\n20 <\/sup>My soul is consumed with longing for your ordinances at all times.<\/span>
\n21 <\/sup>You have rebuked the proud who are cursed,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>who wander from your commandments.<\/span><\/span>
\n22 <\/sup>Take reproach and contempt away from me,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>for I have kept your statutes.<\/span><\/span>
\n23 <\/sup>Though princes sit and slander me,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>your servant will meditate on your statutes.<\/span><\/span>
\n24 <\/sup>Indeed your statutes are my delight,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and my counselors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 5:31-47  (Modern English Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Witnesses to Jesus<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

31 <\/sup>\u201cIf I bear witness of Myself, My testimony is not true.<\/span> <\/span>32 <\/sup>There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the testimony which He bears of Me is true.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

33 <\/sup>\u201cYou sent to John, and he bore witness of the truth.<\/span> <\/span>34 <\/sup>I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.<\/span> <\/span>35 <\/sup>He was a burning and a shining lamp, and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

36 <\/sup>\u201cI have greater testimony than that of John. The works which the Father has given Me to finish, the very works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.<\/span> <\/span>37 <\/sup>The Father Himself, who has sent Me, has borne witness of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.<\/span> <\/span>38 <\/sup>You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe the One He has sent.<\/span> <\/span>39 <\/sup>You search the Scriptures, because you think in them you have eternal life. These are they who bear witness of Me.<\/span> <\/span>40 <\/sup>Yet you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

41 <\/sup>\u201cI do not receive honor from men.<\/span> <\/span>42 <\/sup>But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.<\/span> <\/span>43 <\/sup>I have come in My Father\u2019s name, but you do not receive Me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.<\/span><\/span>44 <\/sup>How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

45 <\/sup>\u201cDo not think that I shall accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you\u2014Moses, in whom you trust.<\/span><\/span>46 <\/sup>For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote of Me.<\/span> <\/span>47 <\/sup>But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
