8. And yet I do write a new commandment to you, which holds true in him and among you, for the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
9. Whoever says he is in the light, yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness.
10. Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is nothing in him to cause a fall.
11. Whoever hates his brother is in darkness; he walks in darkness and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12. I am writing to you, children, because your sins have been forgiven for his name’s sake.
13. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning.I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the evil one.
