1 John 2:6 in Context — 1 John 2

4 Celui qui dit: Je l’ai connu, et qui ne garde pas ses commandements, est un menteur, et la vérité n’est point en lui.

5 Mais celui qui garde sa parole, l’amour de Dieu est véritablement parfait en lui: par là nous savons que nous sommes en lui.

6 Celui qui dit qu’il demeure en lui doit marcher aussi comme il a marché lui-même.

7 Bien-aimés, ce n’est pas un commandement nouveau que je vous écris, mais un commandement ancien que vous avez eu dès le commencement; ce commandement ancien, c’est la parole que vous avez entendue.

8 Toutefois, c’est un commandement nouveau que je vous écris, ce qui est vrai en lui et en vous, car les ténèbres se dissipent et la lumière véritable paraît déjà.
