John 3

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

19 Ref And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.

20 Ref The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.

21 Ref But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.

22 Ref After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.
