1 John 5:9

Εἰ τὴν μαρτυρίαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαμβάνομεν, ἡ μαρτυρία τοῦ Θεοῦ μείζων ἐστίν· ὅτι αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μαρτυρία τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἣν μεμαρτύρηκεν περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.
Ei tēn martyrian tōn anthrōpōn lambanomen, ē martyria toy Theoy meizōn estin· oti aytē estin ē martyria toy Theoy, ēn memartyrēken peri toy yioy aytoy.
King James Version (KJV)

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

Modern English

We accept human testimony, but God's testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.
