7 Broeders! Ik schrijf u geen nieuw gebod, maar een oud gebod, dat gij van den beginne gehad hebt; dit oud gebod is het woord, dat gij van den beginne gehoord hebt.
8 Wederom schrijf ik u een nieuw gebod: hetgeen waarachtig is in Hem, zij ook in u waarachtig; want de duisternis gaat voorbij, en het waarachtige licht schijnt nu.

Bien-aimés, je ne vous écris pas un commandement nouveau, mais un commandement que vous avez eu dès le commencement. Le commandement ancien est la parole que vous avez entendue.
8 Encore une fois, je vous écris un commandement nouveau, ce qui est vrai en lui et en vous, parce que les ténèbres s'en vont et que la vraie lumière luit déjà.

7 Mes frères, je ne vous écris point un commandement nouveau, mais le commandement ancien, que vous avez eu dès le commencement; et ce commandement ancien c'est la parole que vous avez entendue dès le commencement.
8 Cependant le commandement que je vous écris est un commandement nouveau, et est une chose véritable en lui et en vous, parce que les ténèbres sont passées, et que la vraie lumière luit maintenant.

7 Bien-aimés, ce n'est pas un commandement nouveau que je vous écris, mais un commandement ancien que vous avez eu dès le commencement; ce commandement ancien, c'est la parole que vous avez entendue.
