{But the witness which I receive} (Eg(9320)de ou t(886e) marturian
lamban(935c)). "But I do not receive the witness" simply from a man
(like John). The eg(935c) (I) in sharp contrast with humeis (ye)
of verse 33 . Jesus complained of Nicodemus for not accepting
his witness ( 3:11 ). Cf. also 3:32 . In 1Jo 5:9 the witness
of God is greater than that of men and this Jesus has. {That ye
may be saved} (hina humeis s(9374)h(8874)e). Final clause with hina
and first aorist passive subjunctive of s(937a)(935c). This was the
purpose of Christ's coming, that the world might be saved
( 3:17 ).
