Sasa rafiki wa bwana arusi, asimamaye na kusikiliza hufurahia sana kwa sababu ya sauti ya bwana arusi. Hii sasa ni furaha yangu iliyotimilika. ³⁰ Anapaswa kuzidi, nami napaswa kupungua. ³¹ Yeye atokaye juu, yu juu ya yote. Yeye aliye wa ulimwengu anatoka ulimwenguni na huongea mambo ya ki ulimwengu. Yeye atokaye mbinguni yuko juu ya yote. ³² Yeye hushuhudia yale aliyoyaona na kuyasikia, lakini hakuna apokeaye ushuhuda wake. ³³ Yeye aliye pokea ushuhuda wake amehakikisha kuwa Mungu ni mkweli. ³⁴ Kwa sababu yeye aliyetumwa na Mungu huongea maneno ya Mungu. Kwa kuwa hampi Roho kwa kipimo. ³⁵ Baba humpenda Mwana na amempa vitu vyote mikononi mwake. ³⁶ Yeye amwaminiye Mwana anao uzima wa milele, lakini kwa yeye asiye mtii Mwana hatauona uzima, bali ghadhabu ya Mungu hushikamana juu yake.
