2:7 Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. 1 The old commandment is the word that you have already 2 heard. 2:8 On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you which is true in him 3 and in you, because 4 the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. 5
