John 3:20
3:20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed.
John 12:25
12:25 The one who loves his life 1 destroys 2 it, and the one who hates his life in this world guards 3 it for eternal life.
1 tn Or “soul.”
2 tn Or “loses.” Although the traditional English translation of ἀπολλύει (apolluei) in John 12:25 is “loses,” the contrast with φυλάξει (fulaxei, “keeps” or “guards”) in the second half of the verse favors the meaning “destroy” here.
3 tn Or “keeps.”
