1 John 2:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]He that saith he remaineth in him, ought even so to walk as he hath walked.
7 [b]Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning: this old commandment is that word, which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 [c]Again, a new commandment I write unto you, that [d]which is true in him: and also in you: for the darkness is past, and that true light now shineth.
