John 3:28-30

Christian Standard Bible

²⁸ You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah,^(A) but I’ve been sent ahead of him.’^{(B) 29} He who has the bride^(C) is the groom. But the groom’s friend, who stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly^[a] at the groom’s voice. So this joy^(D) of mine is complete. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.”
