1 John 1:8

8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

1 John 2:4

4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.

1 John 2:21

21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.

1 John 3:19

19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence:

1 John 4:6

6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
