|---|---|---|
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.
|
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.
|
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
