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 for their evil works; as by thieves, murderers, and...

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

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.
