"But whoever keeps his word, God's love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:"
— 1 John 2:5, World English Bible
“But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.”
“but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: ”
“But whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.”
“But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him.”
“But in every man who keeps his word, the love of God is made complete. By this we may be certain that we are in him:”
“But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.”
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
One who says, "I know him," and doesn't keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn't in him.
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
