American Standard Version
"Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; "
— John 5:39, American Standard Version
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
“"You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.”
“You study the scriptures thoroughly because you think in them you possess eternal life, and it is these same scriptures that testify about me,”
“Search the scriptures: for you think in them to have life everlasting. And the same are they that give testimony of me.”
“You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.”
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;
and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
I receive not glory from men.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.
