Proverbs 23:23 New International Version (NIV)

John 3:19-21 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁹ This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people 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 their deeds will be exposed. ²¹ But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

John 8:32 New International Version (NIV)

³² Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

2 Thessalonians 2:10 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰ and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
