"Light" is a metaphor that means God's revelation. AT: "he revealed to us the truth about God as a light reveals what is in the darkness" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it
Just as darkness cannot put out light, evil people have never prevented the one who is like a light from revealing God's truth. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
