1 John 2 : 7 - 10
Chapter 2
| 7 | Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
|
| 8 | Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
|
| 9 | He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.
|
| 10 | He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
|
Do not love the world or the things in the world.
The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Amen.
