John 3:20

20 aFor everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, blest his works should be exposed.

Acts 28:27

27 cFor this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and dturn, and I would heal them.’

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

10and with all wicked deception for ethose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore fGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe gwhat is false, 12in order that all may be condemned hwho did not believe the truth but ihad pleasure in unrighteousness.
