5 Mas quem guarda a sua palavra, nele verdadeiramente o amor de Deus tem se aperfeiçoado; nisso sabemos que estamos nele.

6 Aquele que diz que está nele também deve andar como ele andou.

7 Irmãos, não vos escrevo um mandamento novo, mas sim o mandamento antigo, que tivestes desde o princípio. Este mandamento antigo é a palavra que ouvistes desde o princípio.

8 Mas também vos escrevo um mandamento novo, que é verdadeiro nele e em vós; pois as trevas passaram, e a verdadeira luz já ilumina.

9 Aquele que diz que está na luz, e odeia seu irmão, até agora está nas trevas.
