1 John 2:9-11
_ _ There is no mean between light and darkness, love and hatred, life and death, God and the world: wherever spiritual life is, however weak, there darkness and death no longer reign, and love supplants hatred; and Luke 9:50 holds good: wherever life is not, there death, darkness, the flesh, the world, and hatred, however glossed over and hidden from man’s observation, prevail; and Luke 11:23 holds good. “Where love is not, there hatred is; for the heart cannot remain a void” [Bengel].
_ _ in the light — as his proper element.
_ _ his brother — his neighbor, and especially those of the Christian brotherhood. The very title “brother” is a reason why love should be exercised.
_ _ even until now — notwithstanding that “the true light already has begun to shine” (1 John 2:8). |

(8) He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

- and hateth:
1 John 3:13-17 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. ... But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
