1 John 2:9 in Context — 1 John 2

7 Hermanos, no os escribo mandamiento nuevo, sino el mandamiento antiguo que habéis tenido desde el principio: el mandamiento antiguo es la palabra que habéis oído desde el principio.

8 Otra vez os escribo un mandamiento nuevo, que es verdadero en él y en vosotros; porque las tinieblas son pasadas, y la verdadera luz ya alumbra.

9 El que dice que está en luz, y aborrece á su hermano, el tal aun está en tinieblas todavía.

10 El que ama á su hermano, está en luz, y no hay tropiezo en él.

11 Mas el que aborrece á su hermano, está en tinieblas, y anda en tinieblas, y no sabe á donde va; porque las tinieblas le han cegado los ojos.
