1 John 2:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not practise the truth.

Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.

and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

Do not wonder, brethren, if the world hate you.

But he that hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

for he with whom these things are not present is blind, short-sighted, and has forgotten the purging of his former sins.

This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Let brotherly love abide.
