1 JOHN 2:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.”
Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in the darkness — the claim to light (photizō) combined with fraternal hatred (miseo adelphon) is self-contradictory. The present tense menō indicates habitual state rather than momentary failure. Light-dwelling is incompatible with darkness-conduct.
