John 3:18-21
3:18 a As light penetrates and exposes the world’s darkness, God’s judgment on the world has already begun. Those who see this light and recognize the tragedy of their own situation have the responsibility of believing in God’s ... Son (3:16-17 b).Summary for John 3:19-20: 3:19-20 c When people live in spiritual darkness, they do not desire to be enlightened by Jesus, “the light of the world” (8:12 d; 9:5 e). Evil and darkness do not ignore the light; they wage war against it, trying to bring it down. But the darkness cannot extinguish the light (1:5 f). Those who refuse to believe live in darkness (cp. 13:30 g) and stumble because they cannot see (11:10 h). In the end, however, their sins will be exposed (5:28-30 i; Rev 20:11-15 j).
