New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
8
On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.
9
The one who says that he is in the Light and
yet
hates his brother
or sister
is in the darkness until now.
10
The one who loves his brother
and sister
remains in the Light, and there is nothing in him to cause stumbling.
11
But the one who hates his brother
or sister
is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12
I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you on account of His name.
13
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.
King James Version
Chapter 2
8
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

11
But the one who hates his brother or sister is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he’s going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

since your sins have been forgiven
on account of his name.

New Living Translation
Chapter 2
8
Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining.
9
If anyone claims, 'I am living in the light,' but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness.
10
Anyone who loves a fellow believer is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble.
11
But anyone who hates a fellow believer is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness.
12
I am writing to you who are God’s children
because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus.
13
I am writing to you who are mature in the faith
because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning.
I am writing to you who are young in the faith
because you have won your battle with the evil one.

10
Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling.
