John 3:19 (Amplified Bible)
3:19 The [basis of the] judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil.

Parallel verses:
Proverbs 26:23-26 (Amplified Bible)
26:23 Burning lips [uttering insincere words of love] and a wicked heart are like an earthen vessel covered with the scum thrown off from molten silver [making it appear to be solid silver].
26:24 He who hates pretends with his lips, but stores up deceit within himself.
26:25 When he speaks kindly, do not trust him, for seven abominations are in his heart.
26:26 Though his hatred covers itself with guile, his wickedness shall be shown openly before the assembly.
V. THESIS:
Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for I have been restored to perfection because You have removed wickedness far from my body by your resurrection.

Psalms 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

Psalms 55:21 (Amplified Bible)
55:21 The words of his mouth were smoother than cream or butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords. 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, oppression (fraud); under his tongue are trouble and sin (mischief and iniquity).
In the LORD JESUS's day, they are called "hypocrites" by the LORD.
Matthew 22:15-18 (Amplified Bible)
22:15 Then the Pharisees went and consulted and plotted together how they might entangle Jesus in His talk.
22:16 And they sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that You are sincere and what You profess to be and that You teach the way of God truthfully, regardless of consequences and being afraid of no man; for You are impartial and do not regard either the person or the position of anyone.
22:17 Tell us then what You think about this: Is it lawful to pay tribute [levied on individuals and to be paid yearly] to Caesar or not?
22:18 But Jesus, aware of their malicious plot, asked, Why do you put Me to the test and try to entrap Me, you pretenders (hypocrites)?
In our day, they are called the pretenders, plastic, two-faced people. They appear as your partner and associate but inside of them are full of evil plans to destroy you. Specifically, in our day, they are the squatters or "informal settlers". They act like your neighbours but they're not paying anything in their house, they don't own the house and lot, they have stolen them. How can they speak peace if they don't have peace within them?

57:21 There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.

3:17 And they have no experience of the way of peace [they know nothing about peace, for a peaceful way they do not even recognize].
Isaiah 48:22 (Amplified Bible)
48:22 There is no peace, says the Lord, for the wicked.
Isaiah 3:11 (Amplified Bible)
