1 John 2:7-11
Christian Standard Bible
7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command(A) but an old command that you have had from the beginning. The old command is the word(B) you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away(C) and the true light(D) is already shining.(E) 9 The one who says he is in the light but hates his brother or sister(F) is in the darkness until now. 10 The one who loves his brother or sister(G) remains in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.[a] 11 But the one who hates his brother or sister(H) is in the darkness, walks in the darkness,(I) and doesn’t know where he’s going,(J) because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

1 John 2:7-11
Common English Bible
7 Dear friends, I’m not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the message you heard. 8 On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines. 9 The one who claims to be in the light while hating a brother or sister is in the darkness even now. 10 The person loving a brother and sister stays in the light, and there is nothing in the light that causes a person to stumble. 11 But the person who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and lives in the darkness, and doesn’t know where to go because the darkness blinds the eyes.
