1 John 2:7 in Context — 1 John 2
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.
9 Celui qui dit qu’il est dans la lumière, et qui hait son frère, est encore dans les ténèbres.
