1 John 2:9

God's Commands

⁸ Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which is a true thing in him, and in you, because the darkness is past, and the true light is now shining. ⁹ He who saith, that he is in the light, yet hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. ¹⁰ He that loveth his brother is in the light, and occasion of stumbling in him there is none.
