1 JOHN 2:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 2
“Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.”
Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard — the commandment is simultaneously old (from the beginning, arche) and eternally present. The word (logos) precedes and grounds the commandment; hearing precedes doing.
