Joh 5:39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,


Would a Modern day Version say:

You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have principles, methods, and laws you can use to have a successful, easy and prosperous life, and rarely does the savior need to be preached.

I agree with your first member, but would say that the latter member could be 'and those same scriptures bear witness of that life in me'.

Even better, in that it is perceptive.


So, then, this is Modern day Pentecostalism in a nutshell.
