This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And hateth his brother (kai ton adelphon autou misōn). Sharp contrast between the love just described and hate. The only way to walk in the light (1Jo 1:7) is to have fellowship with God who is light (1Jo 1:3, 1Jo 1:5). So the claim to be in the light is nullified by hating a brother.
Even until now (heōs arti). Up till this moment. In spite of the increasing light and his own boast he is in the dark.
