1 John 2:4-10
-
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
-
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
-
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
-
7 Brethren, I write no 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 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
-
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
-
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
