John 3:30
Douay-Rheims
He must increase, but I must decrease.
John Chrysostom
(Hom. xxix. 3) He next dismisses the motions of envy, not only as regards the present, but also the future, saying, He must increase, but I must decrease: as if he said, My office hath ceased, and is ended; but His advanceth.
