17 For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.
For God sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world might live by means of him.

He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not, is already condemned; because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
And this is the ground of condemnation, that light hath come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, for their deeds have been evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.
For every one that doeth abominable things, hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.
But he that doeth right, cometh to the light, that his works may be known to be done in God.

26 And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

For he that cometh from above, is above all; and he that is from the earth, is of the earth, and talketh of the earth. He that cometh from heaven, is above all;
32 What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.
and what he hath seen and heard, he testifieth; and his testimony, no one receiveth.
33 He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that God is true.
But he that receiveth his testimony, hath set his seal, that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
