⁸ The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength: Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thy enemies: and the sons of the strangers shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured.

⁵ But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.

⁶ He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked.

⁷ Dearly beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard.

⁸ Again a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true both in him and in you; because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shineth.

⁹ He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no scandal in him.

¹¹ But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth; because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

¹³ The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.

¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.

¹⁶ And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷ And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁹ They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.
