1 John 2:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ Anyone who says, “I am in the light,”^[a] but hates a brother or sister, is still in the darkness. ¹⁰ Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light and will not cause anyone to stumble in his faith. ¹¹ But whoever hates a brother or sister is in darkness, lives in darkness, and does not know where to go, because the darkness has made that person blind.
