1 John 2:5-7
New Testament for Everyone
5 But if anyone keeps his word, God’s love is truly made complete in such a person. This is how we are sure that we are in him: 6 anyone who says, “I abide in him,” ought to behave in the same way that he behaved.
7 My beloved ones, I am not writing a new command to you, but an old command which you have had from the very beginning. The old command is the word which you heard.
