¹⁹ “This, then, is the judgment: The light^(I) has come into the world,^(J) and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For everyone who practices wicked things hates^(K) the light and avoids it,^[b] so that his deeds^(L) may not be exposed. ²¹ But anyone who lives by^[c] the truth comes to the light, so that his works^(M) may be shown to be accomplished by God.”^[d]
