10 Whoever loves a brother or sister[a] lives in the light, and in such a person[b] there is no cause for stumbling. 11 But whoever hates another believer[c] is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and does not know the way to go, because the darkness has brought on blindness.
12 I am writing to you, little children,
because your sins are forgiven on account of his name.
