1 John 2:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Dearly beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard.

⁸ Again a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true both in him and in you; because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shineth.

⁹ He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
