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 keeps not 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 to them: If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.

and know his will, and approve what is excellent, being instructed by the law:

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

He that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness; and he knows not whither he goes, because darkness has blinded his eyes.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of an gels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

But he who is wanting in these things is blind, and closes his eyes, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

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

Let brotherly love continue.
