The New Commandment

⁷ Brothers, I am writing no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning. ⁸ Yet a new commandment I am writing to you, which holds true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

⁹ Whoever says he is in the light but hates his brother is in darkness even until now. ¹⁰ Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling. ¹¹ But whoever hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
