God's Commands

⁸ Again, I give you a new law, which is true in him and in you; for the night is near its end and the true light is even now shining out. ⁹ He who says that he is in the light, and has hate in his heart for his brother, is still in the dark. ¹⁰ He who has love for his brother is in the light, and there is no cause of error in him.
