New International Version NIV
3 And in this thing we know, that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
3
We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands.
4 He that saith that he knoweth God, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and 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 the charity of God is perfect verily in him, that keepeth his word [Forsooth who keepeth his word, verily in him is perfect charity]. In this thing we know, that we be in him, if we be perfect 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 He that saith, that he dwelleth in him, he oweth to walk, as he walked.
6
Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
