1 John 2:7-11
7aBeloved, I am bnot writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had cfrom the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. 81On the other hand, I am writing aa new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because bthe darkness is passing away and cthe true Light is already shining. 9The one who says he is in the Light and yet ahates his bbrother is in the darkness until now. 10aThe one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11But the one who ahates his brother is in the darkness and bwalks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness cblinded his eyes.
