'Darkness' in the Bible

This is the Message which we have heard from the Lord Jesus and now deliver to you--God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness.

If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering to the truth.

And yet I *am* giving you a new command, for such it really is, so far as both He and you are concerned: because the darkness is now passing away and the light, the true light, is already beginning to shine.

Any one who professes to be in the light and yet hates his brother man is still in darkness.

But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going--because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
