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.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
G. P. "from the beginning." These words are expunged by modern critics, not being found in the three chief manuscripts, or the ancient versions. The commandment of mutual love was at once old and new, delivered from the com- mencement by Cheist and His apostles, and at all times new in its spirit.
