John 3:20

For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued.

Geneva Bible 1599

In The King James Version

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God.
