The New Commandment

7 Beloved, ^cI am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.

24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will ^babide in the Son and in the Father.
