John 3:12
John 3:10-12 The Message (MSG)
Jesus said, “You’re a respected teacher of Israel and you don’t know these basics? Listen carefully. I’m speaking sober truth to you. I speak only of what I know by experience; I give witness only to what I have seen with my own eyes. There is nothing secondhand here, no hearsay. Yet instead of facing the evidence and accepting it, you procrastinate with questions. If I tell you things that are plain as the hand before your face and you don’t believe me, what use is there in telling you of things you can’t see, the things of God?
John 3:12 King James Version (KJV)
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
John 3:12 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
John 3:12 New Century Version (NCV)
I have told you about things here on earth, and you do not believe me. So you will not believe me if I tell you about things of heaven.
John 3:12 American Standard Version (ASV)
If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
John 3:12 New International Version (NIV)
I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?
John 3:12 New King James Version (NKJV)
If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
John 3:12 Amplified Bible (AMP)
If I told you earthly things [that is, things that happen right here on earth] and you do not believe, how will you believe and trust Me if I tell you heavenly things?
John 3:12 New Living Translation (NLT)
But if you don’t believe me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
