Bible verse
nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
John 5:38 · BSB
The verses around it, from John 5.
34 Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
36 But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
37 And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
38 nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
39 You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,
40 yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
41 I do not accept glory from men,
42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
KJV
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
ASV
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
ERV
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
