Page 161 - And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Page 38 - And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
