1 John 2:7-8

71BelovedG27, I am 2not writingG1125 a newG2537 commandmentG1785 to you, but an oldG3820 commandmentG1785 whichG3739 you have hadG2192 3from the beginningG746; the oldG3820 commandmentG1785 is the wordG3056 whichG3739 you have heardG191.

84On the otherG3825 handG3825, I am writingG1125 5a newG2537 commandmentG1785 to you, whichG3739 is trueG227 in Him and in you, becauseG3754 6the darknessG4653 is passingG3855 awayG3855 and 7the trueG228 LightG5457 is alreadyG2235 shiningG5316.
