3This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
3This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 One who says, |I know him,| and doesn't keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn't in him.
5 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:
2:3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands.
2:3And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3And hereby know we that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3And by this we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;
2:3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
