If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin — the coming of Jesus and the revelation he brings increase responsibility and culpability. Those who encounter the light and reject it are more guilty than those who never saw it. Yet the logic is also that sin already existed; the light reveals what was hidden, it does not create sin but exposes it. The refusal of the light is the choosing of darkness, the ultimate sin.
