1 John 2:7-11
사랑하는 여러분, 내가 여러분에게 써 보내는 것은, 새 계명이 아니라, 여러분이 처음부터 가진 옛 계명입니다. 그 옛 계명은 여러분이 들은 그 말씀입니다.
나는 다시 여러분에게 새 계명을 써 보냅니다. 이 새 계명은 하나님께도 참되고 여러분에게도 참됩니다. 어둠이 지나가고, 참 빛이 벌써 비치고 있기 때문입니다.
빛 가운데 있다고 말하면서 자기 형제자매를 미워하는 사람은 아직도 어둠 속에 있습니다.
자기 형제자매를 사랑하는 사람은 빛 가운데 머물러 있으니, 그 사람 앞에는 올무가 없습니다.자기 형제자매를 미워하는 사람은 어둠 속에 있고, 어둠 속을 걷고 있으니, 자기가 어디로 가는지를 알지 못합니다. 어둠이 그의 눈을 가렸기 때문입니다.Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard.
Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.
Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.

The command of "love" is not a new command. Yet,we have to perceive it as a new command since love has to be restored each time in our lives. If we don't love the people surrounding our lives, we are in the darkness and the spirit of the Lord does not abide in us. But love is full-filling and complete and only can result in true light shining around us, helping us to remain in Him!
