1 John 2:7

Ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἐντολὴν καινὴν γράφω ὑμῖν, ἀλλ' ἐντολὴν παλαιάν, ἣν εἴχετε ἀπ' ἀρχῆς· ἡ ἐντολὴ ἡ παλαιά ἐστιν ὁ λόγος ὃν ἠκούσατε ἀπ' ἀρχῆς.
Adelphoi, oyk entolēn kainēn graphō ymin, all' entolēn palaian, ēn eichete ap' archēs· ē entolē ē palaia estin o logos on ēkoysate ap' archēs.
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard.
