6 aHe who says he abides in Him bought himself also to walk just as He walked.
7 1Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had afrom the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard2 from the beginning.
8 Again, aa new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, bbecause the darkness is passing away, and cthe true light is already shining.
9 aHe who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.
10 aHe who loves his brother abides in the light, and bthere is no cause for stumbling in him.
11 But he who ahates his brother is in darkness and bwalks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
