1 John 2:7-11

7 My dear friends, I am not writing a new command to you but an old command you have had from the beginning. It is the teaching you have already heard.

8 But also I am writing a new command to you, and you can see its truth in Jesus and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

9 Anyone who says, "I am in the light," but hates a brother or sister, is still in the darkness.

10 Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light and will not cause anyone to stumble in his faith.

11 But whoever hates a brother or sister is in darkness, lives in darkness, and does not know where to go, because the darkness has made that person blind.
