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.

The man who says, I have knowledge of him, and does not keep his laws, is false, and there is nothing true in him:

If we say we are joined to him, and are walking still in the dark, our words are false and our acts are untrue:

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

And have knowledge of his desires, and are a judge of the things which are different, having the learning of the law,

Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world has no love for you.

But he who has hate for his brother is in the dark, walking in the dark with no knowledge of where he is going, unable to see because of the dark.

If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.

This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

Go on loving your brothers in the faith.
