1 John 2:7-14 - The New Commandment

7 Brethren, I write not a new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning: 8 though I write it again as a new commandment, which is truth in Him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

9 Now he that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is still in darkness: 10 whereas, he that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and is in no danger of stumbling. 11 But he, that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not where he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

12 I write unto you, little children, because for his sake your sins are forgiven you: 13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning: and I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. Yea I have written to you, little children, because ye have known the Father: 14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning: and I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one---
