1 John 2:3-6

3 And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

5 but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.

6 He that says he abides in him ought, even as *he* walked, himself also [so] to walk.
