John 3:19-21 (The Message)
View In My Bible
19
"This is the crisis we're in: God-light streamed into the world, but men and women everywhere ran for the darkness. They went for the darkness because they were not really interested in pleasing God.
20
Everyone who makes a practice of doing evil, addicted to denial and illusion, hates God-light and won't come near it, fearing a painful exposure.
21
But anyone working and living in truth and reality welcomes God-light so the work can be seen for the God-work it is."
