New Defender's Study Bible Notes

3:19 the condemnation. The word “condemnation” (Greek krisis) is also translated “judgment,” but only a judgment concluding in condemnation. The use of the definite article—“the condemnation”—emphasizes that judgment is not because of sin, but because of rejection of God’s provision of salvation from sin through the light of Jesus Christ.


3:19 men loved darkness. See also John 1:9; II Corinthians 4:3-4; Ephesians 4:13-14.
