I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 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 to the sincere and contrite of heart: To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from
the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are
sanctified by faith that is in me. Christ’s humble servant, David Neal
