45 "But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set.
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
45 "But don't think I'm going to accuse you before my Father. Moses, in whom you put so much stock, is your accuser.
45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you--Moses, in whom you trust.
45 "Yet it isn't I who will accuse you before the Father. Moses will accuse you! Yes, Moses, in whom you put your hopes.
46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me.
46 If you believed, really believed, what Moses said, you would believe me. He wrote of me.
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me.
46 If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.

Many trust in some form of doctrines or some parties, who no more enter into the real meaning of those doctrines, or the views of the persons whose names they bear, than the Jews did into those of Moses. Let us search and pray over the Scriptures, as intent on finding eternal life; let us observe how Christ is the great subject of them, and daily apply to him for the life he bestows.
47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?"
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
47 If you won't take seriously what he wrote, how can I expect you to take seriously what I speak?"
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"
47 But since you don't believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?"
