He who believes in Him is not condemned but he
who does not believe is condemned already,
because he had not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God. And this is the
condemnation, that light has come into the world,
and men love darkness rather than light, because
their deeds are evil. For everyone practicing
evil hates the light and does not come to the
light lest his deeds should be exposed. But he
who does the truth comes to the light, that his
deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been
done in God.John 318-21
