2:10
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

Meaning

The verse "He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him," emphasizes the importance of love and unity among believers. Loving one's brother means to act with kindness, compassion, and forgiveness towards others, especially fellow Christians. By demonstrating love towards one another, believers are said to be "abiding in the light," which symbolizes God's truth, righteousness, and guidance. This light illuminates their path, allowing them to walk without stumbling or falling into sin. When believers love one another, they create a supportive and harmonious community that reflects the love of God. This verse serves as a reminder to prioritize love and unity in Christian relationships, as they are essential for spiritual growth and living a life pleasing to God. When believers show love to their brothers and sisters in Christ, they are walking in the light and are less likely to be led astray by darkness or temptation.
