1 John 2:7-11

7 Dear friends, I'm not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the message you heard.

8 On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines.

9 The one who claims to be in the light while hating a brother or sister is in the darkness even now.

10 The person loving a brother and sister stays in the light, and there is nothing in the light that causes a person to stumble.

11 But the person who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and lives in the darkness, and doesn't know where to go because the darkness blinds the eyes.
