1 John 2:6-8
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
6 Whoever says he abides in Him ought [as [a]a personal debt] to walk and conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted Himself.
7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the message which you have heard [the [b]doctrine of salvation through Christ].
8 Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true (is realized) in Him and in you, because the darkness ([c]moral blindness) is clearing away and the true Light ([d]the revelation of God in Christ) is already shining.
