1 John 2:7 Douay-Rheims

Dearly beloved, I write not a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard.

Glossa Ordinaria

Medieval

Not a new commandment. The same charity is an old commandment, because it was commended from the beginning. The same is a new commandment, because, the darkness being cast out, it pours in the desire of the new light.
