Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
New International Version NIV
3 This is how we are sure that we have come to know Him: by keeping His commands.
3
We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands.
4 The one who says, "I have come to know Him," without keeping His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
4
Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
5 But whoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God is perfected. This is how we know we are in Him:
5
But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:
6 the one who says he remains in Him should walk just as He walked.
6
Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
