John 3:17-22 in English

¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

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

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.

²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

¹⁷ For God didn’t 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 doesn’t believe is condemned already because that person has not believed in the name of God’s only Son.

¹⁹ This is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, but people sincerely loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ Everyone who practices evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

²¹ Whoever practices the truth comes to the light to show clearly that their deeds have been done with God.”

²² After this, Jesus and His disciples went out into the countryside of Judea, where He remained with them, and baptized.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

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

²⁰ For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.

²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

¹⁷ When God sent his Son into the world, his purpose was not to punish the people in MTY the world for their sins. Instead, he sent him in order that they might be saved by him {he might save them} from being ◄ guilty/punished► for their sins.

¹⁸ Everyone who trusts in his Son, God says that they will not be punished {that he will not punish them}. But God has already said that everyone who does not trust in his Son will be punished {that he will punish everyone who does not trust in his Son}, because they have not trusted in what his only Son has done for them.

¹⁹ The one who was like a light MET to reveal God's truth to us came into the world. But people loved doing what was evil, like darkness MET is evil, instead of loving the one who was like a light. That is the reason God will judge people and condemn them.

²⁰ Everyone who does what is evil hates the one who is like a light, and they will not come to the one who is like a light, because it would be shown { the one who is like a light would show} that their deeds are evil, and he would rebuke them.

²¹ But those who live according to God's truth come to the one who is like a light, in order that it may be seen clearly {that people may see clearly} that the things they have done, they did them because they have depended on God.

²² Some time later Jesus and we disciples went to Judea district. He stayed with us there and directed us as we baptized people.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

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

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

²² After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptised.

¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

¹⁸ The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.

²⁰ The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.

²¹ But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.

²² After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.

¹⁷ For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.

¹⁸ He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

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

²⁰ For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are;

²¹ but he that practises the truth comes to the light, that his works may be manifested that they have been wrought in God.

²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them and baptised.

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

¹⁸ He 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.

¹⁹ And 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.

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

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

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

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world so that He might condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

¹⁸ “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light, because their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone that does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

²² After these things Jesus, along with His disciples, came into the land of Judea, and there He was staying with them and He was baptizing.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

¹⁸ The one believing into Him is not condemned, but the one not believing has already been condemned, because he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ “Now this is the basis for the condemning, that the Light has come into the world, but the people loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were malignant.

²⁰ For whoever practices evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds may not be exposed.

²¹ But whoever does the truth comes to the Light so that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they are done in God.”

²² After these things Jesus, with His disciples, went into the Judean countryside, and there He spent time with them and baptized.

¹⁷ God didn't send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

¹⁸ Those who trust in him are not condemned, while those who don't trust in him are condemned already because they didn't trust in the one and only Son of God.

¹⁹ This is how the decision is made: the light came to the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light, for their actions were evil.

²⁰ All those who do evil hate the light and don't come into the light, because they don't want their actions to be exposed.

²¹ But those who do good come into the light, so that what God accomplishes in them can be revealed.”

²² After this Jesus and his disciples went into Judea and spent some time with the people, baptizing them.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued.

¹⁸ Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that that light came into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then that light, because their deedes were euill.

²⁰ For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued.

²¹ But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God.

²² After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

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

¹⁷ He did not send his son here for what's-it, to banish them from his presence for ever. He sent him for us, to rescue everybody!

¹⁸ Whoever believes in God's Son, he will not send him away. Everyone who does not believe in that sort of way stays in a really bad way forever, because they reject God's very own son.

¹⁹ This is how it works: The Light of God has come to us, BUT / in contrast, opposite of what one would expect but men love darkness, they want to do evil.

²⁰ Evil-doers hate the Light of God, they do not come to the Light of God, because of shame about the bad things they have done.

²¹ Everyone who habitually does good will come to the light of God, and others will see how God is working in and through them.

¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved.

¹⁸ He that believeth in him is not condemned; he that believeth not hath already been condemned, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light hath come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

²² After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.

¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him.

¹⁸ The person who believes in him escapes condemnation, while the person who does not believe in him is already condemned, because they have not believed in the only Son of God.

¹⁹ The ground of their condemnation is this, that though the light has come into the world, people preferred the darkness to the light, because their actions were wicked.

²⁰ For the person who lives an evil life hates the light, and will not come to it, fearing that their actions will be exposed;

²¹ but the person who lives by the truth comes into the light, so it can be clearly seen that God is in all they do.

²² After this, Jesus went with his disciples into the country parts of Judea; and there he stayed with them, and baptised.

¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him.

¹⁸ The person who believes in him escapes condemnation, while the person who does not believe in him is already condemned, because they have not believed in the only Son of God.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men have agapao ·total devotion love· to the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

²² After these things, Yeshua Salvation came with his disciples into the land of Judea Praise. He stayed there with them, and baptized.

¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde to condempne the worlde: but that the worlde through him might be saved.

¹⁸ He that beleveth on him shall not be condempned. But he that beleveth not is condempned all redy be cause he beleveth not in the name of the only sonne of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condempnacion: that light is come into the worlde and the me loved darcknes more then light because their dedes were evill.

²⁰ For every man that evyll doeth hateth the light: nether commeth to light lest his dedes shuld be reproved.

²¹ But he that doth truth commeth to the light that his dedes might be knowen how that they are wrought in God.

²² After these thinges cam Iesus and his disciples into the Iewes londe and ther he haunted with them and baptised.

¹⁷ For God did not send the Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but in order to save the world through him.

¹⁸ He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is already condemned because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

¹⁹ This is the reason for the judgment: The light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his deeds will not be exposed.

²¹ However, he who practices the truth comes to the light so that it may be plainly seen that his deeds have been done in God.”

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²² After these things, Yeshua came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and immersed.

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

¹⁸ He that believeth in him, is not deemed, or condemned; but he that believeth not, is now deemed or condemned, for he believeth not in the name of the one or the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the doom, for light came into the world, and men loved more darknesses than light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For each man that doeth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, that his works be not reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his works be showed, that they be done in God.

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

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

¹⁸ He that believeth in him, is not deemed; but he that believeth not, is now deemed, for he believeth not in the name of the one begotten Son of God. He that believeth in him, is not deemed, or condemned; forsooth he that believeth not, is now condemned, for he believeth not in the name of the only begotten son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the doom, for light came into the world, and men loved more (the) darknesses than (the) light; for their works were evil. (And this is the judgement, yea, the light came into the world, but men loved the darkness more than the light; because their works were evil.)

²⁰ For each man that doeth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, (so) that his works be not reproved.

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

¹⁷ For God sente not his sone in to the world, that he iuge the world, but that the world be saued bi him.

¹⁸ He that bileueth in hym, is not demed; but he that bileueth not, is now demed, for he bileueth not in the name of the `oon bigetun sone of God.

¹⁹ And this is the dom, for liyt cam in to the world, and men loueden more derknessis than liyt; for her werkes weren yuele.

²⁰ For ech man that doith yuele, hatith the liyt; and he cometh not to the liyt, that hise werkis be not repreued.

²¹ But he that doith treuthe, cometh to the liyt, that hise werkis be schewid, that thei ben don in God.

²² Aftir these thingis Jhesus cam, and hise disciplis, in to the loond of Judee, and there he dwellide with hem, and baptiside.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;

²¹ but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'

²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;
