1 John 2:8 in Context — 1 John 2

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.

10 Celui qui aime son frère demeure dans la lumière, et aucune occasion de chute n’est en lui.
