16 For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him
shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son
into the world
to condemn the world,
but to save the world
through Him.
18 Whoever believes in Him
is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe
stands condemned
already because they have not believed
in the name of God’s one and only Son.
19 This is the verdict: Light
has come into the world,
but people loved darkness
instead of light
because their deeds were evil.
20 Everyone who does evil
hates the light,
and will not come into the light
for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
21 But whoever lives by the truth
comes into the light,
so that it may be seen plainly
that what they have done
has been done in the sight
of God.
John 3
Into the
Light
