1 John 2:11

“But now that sins are signified by darkness, so is it seen in the Prophet, who says, “And thy darkness shall be as the noon day:” and in the Apostle, who says, “He that hateth his brother is in darkness:” and above all that text, “Let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.”” — editor's note: 1 John ii. 11.

““And I have said,” “He that hateth his brother, is in darkness until now.”” — editor's note: 1 John ii. 9, 11.

““For he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth.”” — editor's note: 1 John ii. 11.

“Then let him say what sin; let him teach us; lest haply I may have rashly said that the sin here is the violation of charity, because he said above, “He that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.”” — editor's note: 1 John ii. 11.

“…in short, which, by the Evangelist John himself, is fully and clearly shown to be charity, so much so that he says, “Whoso hateth his brother is in darkness;” that light, I say, is very often extinguished; this darkness of enmity between brethren increases, daily increases, and Jesus is not yet come.” — editor's note: 1 John ii. 11.

“And again: “He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.”” — editor's note: 1 John ii. 9–11.
