19 Light came into the world. But people wanted to be in the dark because they did wrong things. They did not want the light. That is why they are judged.

20 Everyone who does wrong things hates light. He does not come to the light because he is afraid people will see what he does and will say it is bad.

21 But everyone who does what is right comes to the light. He wants people to see that God helps him to do what is right.
