1 John 2:7-9
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the message which you have heard [the [a]doctrine of salvation through Christ].
8 Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true (is realized) in Him and in you, because the darkness ([b]moral blindness) is clearing away and the true Light ([c]the revelation of God in Christ) is already shining.
9 Whoever says he is in the Light and [yet] hates his brother [Christian, [d]born-again child of God his Father] is in darkness even until now.
