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.

Do Not Love the World
15 aDo not love the world or the things in the world. bIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, athe lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
17 And athe world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Deceptions of the Last Hour
18 aLittle children, bit is the last hour; and as you have heard that cthe Antichrist is coming, deven now many antichrists have come, by which we know ethat it is the last hour.
19 aThey went out from us, but they were not of us; for bif they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out cthat they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
