1 John 2:6-8
New King James Version
6 (A)He who says he abides in Him (B)ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
7 [a]Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had (C)from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard [b]from the beginning. 8 Again, (D)a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, (E)because the darkness is passing away, and (F)the true light is already shining.
