1 John 2

⁹ If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.

¹⁰ Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.

¹¹ But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹² I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.

¹³ I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.
