“But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God — the counterpart: those whose deeds are true approach light without fear, desiring exposure of their works' alignment with God's will. The phrase "in the sight of God" (en tō Theō) suggests that ethical truth-living is living consciously before God. This verse establishes that belief involves not mere intellectual assent but lived transformation expressed in deeds.
