John 3:20

James Moffatt - New Testament

for anyone whose practices are corrupt loathes the light and will not come out into it, in case his actions are exposed,

See the chapter Copy

the world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its deeds are evil.

One of the jurists said to him, "Teacher, when you say this you are insulting us as well."

whereas anyone whose life is true comes out into the light, to make it plain that his actions have been divinely prompted.
