- "He must increase, but I must decrease.

- For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
- The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
- He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
