John 3:18
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But he that believeth not is condemned already, Hear that, “condemned already”; not in a state of probation. Never was there a greater mistake than to say that men are in a state of probation. That probation has passed long ago. They have been proved in the world, and, if they are unbelievers, they are condemned already. “Condemned already.”
John 3:18-19

Because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, The condemnation — the head and front of it.
John 3:18-19
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation,- The very first form of it, the proof of it, and the reason for it: “This is the condemnation,” —
John 3:18
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. “He that believeth not is condemned already.” If you have heard of Christ’s salvation, and you have not believed in him, that is evidence enough of your condemnation. There is no need to prove your evil works, no need to fetch...

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And this is the condemnation,.... Of him that believes not in Christ; that is, this is the matter and cause of his condemnation, and by which it is aggravated, and appears to be just: that light is come into the world: by which is meant, not natural or corporeal light; though natural darkness is, by some, preferred to this, being more convenient...
John 3:19-21
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are...
John 3:19-20
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. This is the secret of infidelity. This is the reason of all opposition to Christ. It is love of sin. Trace it home to its den and...

John 3:19
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. The dislike of Christ is caused by a love of sin. If men did not hug their sins, they would embrace the Saviour.

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
For every one that doth evil, hateth the light,.... Every man, the series of whose life and conversation is evil, hates Christ and his Gospel, cause they make manifest his evil deeds, convict him of them, and rebuke him for them: neither cometh to the light; to hear Christ preach, or preached; to attend on the Gospel ministration and means of...

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. If you do not like self-examination, be sure that you are wrong. If you do not like reading heart-searching books, or...
John 3:21
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
But he that doth truth,.... That which is true, right and good: "he whose work is just", as the Ethiopic version renders it; or, "he that does that which is right", so the Persic; that which is according to the will of God, and from a principle of love to him, and with a view to his glory: cometh to the light; to Christ, and to his word, and...

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
After these things,.... After Christ's coming to Jerusalem, at the feast of the passover, with his disciples, and driving the buyers and sellers from the temple, and doing the miracles he did there, upon which many believed on him; and after the long discourse he had with Nicodemus, concerning regeneration, and other things: came Jesus and his...

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. For John was not yet cast into prison. We ought to be thankful that God’s ministers are not silenced in this...

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And John also was baptizing in Aenon,.... The Syriac and Persic versions call it "Ain", or "In you", the fountain of the dove; and the Arabic version reads it, the fountain of "Nun": and whether it was a town, or river, it seems to have its name from a fountain near it, or that itself was one, where was an abundance of water, as the text shows....
