Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Book of John Chapter 5 - Read Chapter 5:39 - [In Context ]You carefully study the Scriptures. F82 You think that those Scriptures give you life forever. Those same Scriptures tell about me!
5:40 - [In Context ]But you refuse to come to me to have that life {you want}.
5:41 - [In Context ]"I don't want praise from you or any other human.
5:42 - [In Context ]But I know you--I know that you don't have God's love in you.
5:43 - [In Context ]I have come from my Father--I speak for him. But you don't accept me. But when another person comes speaking only for himself, you will accept him.
5:44 - [In Context ]You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe?
5:45 - [In Context ]Don't think that I will stand before the Father and say that you are wrong. Moses is the person that says that you are wrong. And Moses is the one that you hoped would save you.
5:46 - [In Context ]If you really believed Moses, you would believe me. Why? Because Moses wrote about me.
5:47 - [In Context ]But you don't believe what Moses wrote. So you cannot believe the things I say."
