The New Commandment

7 Beloved, I am writing you ¹no new commandment, but ²an old commandment ³that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.

8 At the same time, it is ⁴a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because^a⁵the darkness is passing away and ⁶the true light is already shining.

9 Whoever says he is in the light and ⁷hates his brother is still in darkness.

10 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him^b there is no ⁸cause for stumbling.

11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and ⁹walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

12 I am writing to you, little children, because ¹⁰your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.

13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know ¹¹him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because ¹²you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because ¹³you know the Father.

14 I write to you, fathers, because you know ¹⁴him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ¹⁵you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
