John 3:17-22

¹⁷For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.

¹⁸He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.

²⁰For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.

²¹But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.

²²After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.
