John 7:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ Here is how someone can find out whether my teaching comes from God or from me. That person must choose to do what God wants them to do. ¹⁸ Whoever speaks on their own does it to get personal honor. But someone who works for the honor of the one who sent him is truthful. Nothing about him is false. ¹⁹ Didn’t Moses give you the law? But not one of you obeys the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”
