Joh. 19. He that saith (as many among you do) that he is in the light (that is, that he is both plentifully enlightened and borne anew) and hates his brother, is in darkness (under the estate of damnation, not yet truly regenerate) until this time. 10. He that ⟨p. 9⟩loveth his brother, 2abideth in the light (is truly enlightened and regenerate.) and there is no offence, (uz. he will give no occasion of evil) in him. 11. But (on the contrary) he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, (leadeth his life in ignorance and ungodliness) and knoweth not whither he goeth; because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
