John 3:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 (A)[a]For God sent not his Son into the world, that he should [b]condemn the world, but that the [c]world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth in him, is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of that only begotten Son of God.
19 (B)[d]And this is the [e]condemnation, that that light came into the world, and men loved darkness rather than that light, because their deeds were evil.
