1 John 2:9

God's Commands

⁸ Again, I do write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you: for the darkness is past away, and the true light now shineth. ⁹ He that saith, he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now. ¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
