New American Standard Bible 1995
1 John 2:3-11
31By this we know that we have come to 2know Him, if we 3keep His commandments. 4The one who says, “4I have come to 5know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a 6liar, and 7the truth is not in him; 5but whoever 8keeps His word, in him the 9love of God has truly been perfected. 10By this we know that we are in Him: 6the one who says he 11abides in Him 12ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.
713Beloved, I am 14not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had 15from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. 816On the other hand, I am writing 17a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because 18the darkness is passing away and 19the true Light is already shining. 9The one who says he is in the Light and yet 20hates his 21brother is in the darkness until now. 1022The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11But the one who 23hates his brother is in the darkness and 24walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has 25blinded his eyes.
