John 3: 19

(KJV)

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

(NASB2020)

And this is the judgment, that ^athe Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for ^btheir deeds were evil.

(NET2full)

Now this is the basis for judging: ^{▼▼tn Or “this is the reason for God judging,” or “this is how judgment works.”} that the light has come into the world and people ^{▼▼tn Grk “and men,” but in a generic sense, referring to people of both genders (as “everyone” in v. 20 makes clear).} loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.
