1 John 2:4-8
1 John 2:4
The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
1 John 2:5
but whoever follows His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him:
1 John 2:6
the one who says that he remains in Him ought, himself also, to walk just as He walked.
1 John 2:7
Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.
1 John 2:8
On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.
