John 3:17-22

¹⁷For 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.

¹⁹And 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.

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

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

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