The one coming from above,
is above all things.
The one being from the earth
is from the earth
and speaks from the earth,
He who is coming from heaven
is above all things.

He who has seen, and heard this,
bears witness
yet nobody receives his witness (statement.)

The one who has received his witness,
has confirmed
that God is truthful.

-whom God sent,
to speak the words of God,
for he does not give the Spirit
in a measured way.

The Father loves the Son,
and he has given all things
into his hand.
The one who believes in the Son
has the life of the world to come.
The one who disbelieves the Son,
will not see life,
but the wrath of God remains on him.

Thank you, dear Jesus,
for all you have given me,
for all you have taken away from me,
for all you have left me.

Thomas More (c.1478-1535)
