20For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.


In Context

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.

22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
