John 3:19 in Context — John 3

17 Porque Deus não mandou seu Filho ao mundo para que condenasse ao mundo; mas sim para que o mundo por ele fosse salvo;

18 Quem nele crer não é condenado; mas quem não crê já está condenado; pois não tem crido no nome do unigênito Filho de Deus.

19 E esta é a condenação: que a luz veio ao mundo, e as pessoas amaram mais as trevas que a luz, porque suas obras eram más.

20 Porque todo aquele que faz o mal odeia a luz e não vem à luz, para que suas obras não sejam reprovadas.

21 Mas quem pratica a verdade vem à luz, para que suas obras sejam manifestas, que são feitas em Deus.
