1 John 2:4-9

1 John 2:4-9 CSB

The one who says, “I have come to know him,” and yet doesn’t keep his commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps his word,  truly in him the love of God is made complete. This is how we know we are in him:  The one who says he remains in him  should walk just as he walked. Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command  but an old command that you have had from the beginning. The old command is the word  you have heard. Yet I am writing you a new command, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away  and the true light  is already shining.  The one who says he is in the light but hates his brother or sister  is in the darkness until now.
