1.  If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.
     Jn 5.31

2.  I do not accept glory from human beings.  I know that you do not have the love of God
     in you.  Jn 5.41-42

3.  I come bringing my Father's instruction and you do not accept my words; if another
     comes in his own name, you will accept him.  Jn 5.43

4.  How can you believe in the true teachings when you accept glory form one another
     And do not seek the glory that comes from the One who alone is God?  Jn 5.44

5.  It is spirit that gives life.  The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
     Jn 6.63

6.  Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine but His, our Father's, who sent me."
     Jn 7.16

7.  Anyone who resolves to do the will of God, the Father, will know whether the teaching
     is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.  Jn 7.17

8.  Those who speak on their own seek their own glory; but the one who seeks the glory
     of the One God, who sent him is true, and there is nothing false in him.  Jn 7.18

9.  Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.
     Jn 7.24

10.  As the scripture has said, "Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living waters."
      Jn 7.38

11.  The One God, our Father, who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have
       heard from Him.  Jn 8.26

12.  I do nothing on my own, but I speak these things as the Father instructs me.
      Jn 8.28

13.  I declare what I have seen in the Father's presence; as for you, you should do
      what you have heard from the Father.  Jn 8.38

14.  Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love my instruction, for
      I came with the words of God to guide you, and now I am here.  Jn 9.42

15.  I honor my Father, I do not seek my own glory.
      Jn 8.49-50

16.  Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing.  It is our Father who glorifies
      His children, He of whom you say, 'He is our God, though you do not know Him.'
      Jn 8.54-55

17.  Jesus answered, "Is it not written in the law, 'You are gods'?  If those to whom the word
      of God came were called 'gods' -- and the scripture cannot be annulled -- can you say
      that the ones whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world are blaspheming
      Because they say, 'I am God's Child.'  Jn 10.34-36

18.  If I am not doing the works of the Father, then do not believe me.  But if I do them,
      even though you do not believe me, believe the works.  Jn 10.37-38

19.  If you walk in the darkness of ignorance, you do not know where you are going.  While
      you have the light of God's instruction, believe in the light, so that you may become
      Children of God.  Jn 12.35-36

20.  I do not judge anyone who hears my words and does not keep them, for I came not
      to judge the world, but to bring saving guidance from our Father, to the world.  Jn 12.47

21.  I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done.  Jn 13.15

22.  Servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the One
      who sent them.  If you know these things, you are blessed.  Jn 13.16-17

23.  Do not let your hearts be troubled, believe in the One God, believe in the instruction
      which I have given you.  Jn 14.1

24.  Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes my words will also do the works that I do,
       And in fact, will do greater works than these.  Jn 14.12

25.  If you love me, you will keep my words.
      Jn 14.23

26.  The advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send to you, will teach you
      everything, and will remind you of all that I have said to you.  Jn 14.26

27.  I do as the Father has instructed me, so that the world my know that I love the Father.
      Jn 14.31

28.  There are still many things to teach you so that you may learn, but you cannot bear
      them now.  When the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all Truth; for He
      will not speak on His own, but will speak whatever he hears from the Father, and he
      will declare to you the things that are to come.  Jn 16.12-13

29.  The hour has come when I will no longer speak to you in figures but will tell you
      plainly of the Father.  Jn 16.25

30.  I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf for the Father Himself
      Loves you.  Jn 16.26-27

31.  There are many other things that Jesus did and said; if everyone of them were written
      down, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be
      written.  Jn 21.25

With love,

Rev Dorris
