3:17

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

3:18

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

3:19

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

3:20

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

3:21

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."
