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 have known 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 the truth;

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now because ye say, We see, therefore your sin abides.

and dost know his will and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,

Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hates you.

But he that hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and does not know where he goes, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

They do not know, neither do they understand; they walk in darkness; they move all the foundations of the earth.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.

But he that lacks these things is blind and walks feeling the way with his hand, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

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

Let brotherly love continue.
