New International Version (NIV) |
|
19 And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.
|
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
|
|
20 For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed.
|
20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
|
|
21 But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God."
|
21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
