6 Whoever says he remains in Him ought to walk as He walked.
7 Brothers, I am writing no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.
8 Yet a new commandment I am writing to you, which holds true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
9 Whoever says he is in the light but hates his brother is in darkness even until now.
10 Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling.
11 But whoever hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I am writing to you, little children,because your sins are forgiven for His name’s sake.
