In context
5 But in every man who keeps his word, the love of God is made complete. By this we may be certain that we are in him:
6 He who says that he is living in him, will do as he did.
7 My loved ones, I do not give you a new law, but an old law which you had from the first; this old law is the word which came to your ears.
8 Again, I give you a new law, which is true in him and in you; for the night is near its end and the true light is even now shining out.
9 He who says that he is in the light, and has hate in his heart for his brother, is still in the dark.
10 He who has love for his brother is in the light, and there is no cause of error in him.
11 But he who has hate for his brother is in the dark, walking in the dark with no knowledge of where he is going, unable to see because of the dark.
