1 John 2

⁷ Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.

⁸ Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.

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.
