John 3:34
32 He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony.
33 Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
35 The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
