(NIV) 16 "For God so
loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the
world, but to save the world through him. 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. 19 This is the verdict:
Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of
light because their deeds were evil.
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 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."
