uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πᾶς Γάρ ὁ φαῦλα πράσσων μισεῖ τό φῶς καί οὐκ ἔρχεται πρός τό φῶς ἵνα μή ἐλεγχθῇ τά ἔργα αὐτοῦ)

For here indicates another reason why men love the darkness, as stated in the previous verse. People who do evil things hate the light. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [This is because]

πᾶς & ὁ φαῦλα πράσσων

everyone & ¬which evil doing

This phrase refers to someone who habitually does evil things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [everyone who habitually does evil]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ φῶς, καὶ & πρὸς τὸ φῶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πᾶς Γάρ ὁ φαῦλα πράσσων μισεῖ τό φῶς καί οὐκ ἔρχεται πρός τό φῶς ἵνα μή ἐλεγχθῇ τά ἔργα αὐτοῦ)

See how you translated the light in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [Jesus, who revealed the true and good things of God, and … to Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πᾶς Γάρ ὁ φαῦλα πράσσων μισεῖ τό φῶς καί οὐκ ἔρχεται πρός τό φῶς ἵνα μή ἐλεγχθῇ τά ἔργα αὐτοῦ)

Jesus is speaking about himself in the third person. If your language does not allow people to speak of themselves in the third person, you may need to specify who the light is. Alternate translation: [me, the light, and … to me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἵνα μὴ ἐλεγχθῇ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ

in_order_that (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πᾶς Γάρ ὁ φαῦλα πράσσων μισεῖ τό φῶς καί οὐκ ἔρχεται πρός τό φῶς ἵνα μή ἐλεγχθῇ τά ἔργα αὐτοῦ)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [so that the light might not expose his deeds]
