Always look out when you see the word ‘new’ in the name of anything.

1John 1:

[7] 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.

[MHGinTN]

John was writing many years AFTER these Jews had become Christians and in the New Covenant which Jesus established through the Cross. John referred to the commandment to love one another as commanded by Jesus.

Your false teacher, Rood, has you twisting John to support the Covenant which was done away. But your blindness in Rood is so deep that you are here unable to see your lostness.

[MHGinTN]

As a blind man you post 1John1 and fail to see 2John 7 Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning — the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning; 8 again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine; 9 he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now; 10 he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not; 11 and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes.

Jesus IS The Word made flesh. John writes to these earliest CHRISTIANS, to refer them nack to what they received from the beginning. But your Roodian blindness sees the old covenant and blurs the New Covenant in His Blood. As they say around this neck of the Appalachians, 'keep working for it son, Hell ain't half full.'

Huh?

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

It's 1 John 2:7
