^{7 Ref} Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning -- the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning;

^{8 Ref} again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine;

^{9 Ref} he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;

^{7 Ref} Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard.

^{8 Ref} Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth.

^{9 Ref} He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
