|---|---|---|
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
|
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
|
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
