NET Bible
"Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil."
— John 3:19, NET Bible
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”
“And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. ”
“This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.”
“And this is the judgment: Because the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.”
“And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.”
“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 this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.
For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed.
But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.
