[7] I write no new commandment but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment the word which ye have heard from the beginning. [8] Again, a new commandment I write which thing true in him and in because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. [9] He that saith in the light, and hateth his brother, in darkness even until now. [10] He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and none occasion of stumbling in him. [11] But he that hateth his brother in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. [12] I write little children, because your sins are forgiven his name's sake. [13] I write fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write little children, because ye have known the Father. [14] I have written fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written young men, because strong, and the word of God abideth in and ye have overcome the wicked one.
