1 John 2:7-11

7 Dear friends, it's not as though I'm writing to give you a new commandment. Rather, I'm giving you an old commandment that you've had from the beginning. It's the old commandment you've already heard.

8 On the other hand, I'm writing to give you a new commandment. It's a truth that exists in Christ and in you: The darkness is fading, and the true light is already shining.

9 Those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark.

10 Those who love other believers live in the light. Nothing will destroy the faith of those who live in the light.

11 Those who hate other believers are in the dark and live in the dark. They don't know where they're going, because they can't see in the dark.
