"You study the scriptures thoroughly because you think in them you possess eternal life, and it is these same scriptures that testify about me,"
— John 5:39, NET Bible
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
“Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; ”
“"You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which 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 I have a testimony greater than that from John. For the deeds that the Father has assigned me to complete– the deeds I am now doing– testify about me that the Father has sent me.
And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time,
nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent.
You study the scriptures thoroughly because you think in them you possess eternal life, and it is these same scriptures that testify about me,
but you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
“I do not accept praise from people,
but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
