1 John 2

7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command  * 2:7 Mk 7:8; Jn 13:34; 2Jn 5 but an old command that you have had from the beginning. The old command is the word  * 2:7 Lk 6:47; Jn 1:1 you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away  * 2:8 Rm 13:12; 1Co 7:31; 1Jn 2:17 and the true light  * 2:8 Jn 1:9; 3:19–21; 8:12; 12:46 is already shining.  * 2:8 Jn 1:5; 12:35–36; Rv 22:5
