1 John 2:9-11

[9] Whoever says he is in the light

and hates his brother

is still in darkness.

[10] Whoever loves his brother

abides in the light,

and in him there is no cause for stumbling.

[11] But whoever hates his brother

is in the darkness

and walks in the darkness,

and does not know where he is going,

because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

1 John 2:7-8

Beloved,

I am writing you no new commandment,

but an old commandment

that you had from the beginning.

The old commandment

is the word that you have heard.

At the same time,

it is a new commandment

that I am writing to you,

which is true in him and in you,

because the darkness is passing away

and the true light is already shining.

Meditating on the Scriptures Together

1 John 2:3-6

[3] And by this we know

that we have come to know him,

if we keep his commandments.

[4] Whoever says “I know him”

but does not keep his commandments

is a liar, and the truth is not in him,

[5] but whoever keeps his word,

in him truly the love of God is perfected.

By this we may know that we are in him:

[6] whoever says he abides in him

ought to walk in the same way

in which he walked.
