1 John 2:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [a]And hereby we are sure that we [b]know him, [c]if we keep his commandments.
4 [d]He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 [e]But he that keepeth his word, in him is the [f]love of God perfect indeed: hereby we know that we are in [g]him.
