John 3:19-24

¹⁹The 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.

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

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

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

²³John, also, was baptising at Aenon near Salim, because there were many streams there; and people were constantly coming and being baptised.

²⁴(For John had not yet been imprisoned).
