1 John 2:8-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
8 Yet-again I am writing a new[a] commandment to you, which[b] is true[c] in Him and in you, because[d] the darkness is passing-away and the true Light[e] is already shining. 9 The one claiming to be in the light and hating his brother is in the darkness until now. 10 The one loving his brother is abiding in the light, and there is no cause-of-falling in him.

- 1 John 2:8 That is, ‘new’ in that it is Christ’s ‘new commandment’, Jn 13:34. Or, ‘new’ in that John gives us here a fresh statement of the old command they heard from the beginning.
- 1 John 2:8 This does not refer back to ‘new commandment’, as it appears in English. John may mean ‘all of which’ (everything included in what I am writing here); or, ‘the newness of which’.
- 1 John 2:8 That is, genuinely present, truly seen.
- 1 John 2:8 John may be explaining why he is writing (as in v 12-14); or, why it is true in Him and in you (because His light is shining in you).
- 1 John 2:8 Or, light.
