2:3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

2:4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

2:5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

2:6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

2:8Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

2:9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

2:10He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

2:11But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
