1 John 2:8

---

← 1 John 2:7	1 John 2:8 (KJV)	1 John 2:9 →
Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.	Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.	He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
