According to the gospel of John, everyone who does evil hates__________

According to the gospel of John, everyone who does evil hates the Light. The Light here is a metaphor for Jesus Christ, who is described as the "Light of the World" in the same gospel. To hate the Light means to reject Jesus Christ and His teachings. Those who do evil are described as living in darkness, and they avoid the Light because it exposes their wrongdoing. They prefer to stay in the darkness where their actions are hidden, rather than coming to the Light and acknowledging their wrongdoing. Therefore, the gospel of John teaches that those who do evil hate the Light, because it represents everything that they are not - righteous, holy, and good. They fear the Light because it exposes their true nature and they do not want to change their ways.
