1 John 2:7-14 - The New Commandment
7 My brethren, I don't prescribe you any new commandment, but the antient precept which you had from the beginning: and that is no other than the word which was originally delivered. 8 however, it is really, in effect, a new commandment I write unto you, with respect to you: because the darkness is past, and things now appear in their true light.
9 he that says, he is in the light, and yet hates his brother, is still in darkness. 10 he that loves his brother, abides in the light, and will be secure from stumbling. 11 but he that hates his brother, is in darkness, he walks in darkness, and knows not whither he is going, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write to you, dear children, because your sins are forgiven you upon the account of Christ. 13 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked spirit. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the father. 14 I write to you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked spirit.
