John 5:47

But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

But {G1161} if {G1487} ye believe {G4100} not {G3756} his {G1565} writings {G1121}, how {G4459} shall ye believe {G4100} my {G1699} words {G4487}?

But if you don’t believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”

But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”

But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
