1 John 2:5
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 habitually keeps His word and obeys His precepts [and treasures His message in its entirety], in him the love of God has truly been perfected [it is completed and has reached maturity]. By this we know [for certain] that we are in Him:
But he who keeps (treasures) His Word [who bears in mind His precepts, who observes His message in its entirety], truly in him has the love of and for God been perfected (completed, reached maturity). By this we may perceive (know, recognize, and be sure) 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.
But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the love of God is made complete. This is how we know we are in him:
But the love of God is truly perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know we are in him.
But if someone keeps doing what he says, then truly love for God has been brought to its goal in him. This is how we are sure that we are united with him.
We truly love God only when we obey him as we should, and then we know we belong to him.
but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
But whoever is keeping His word, truly the love of God has been perfected in this one. 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 when we obey God’s teaching, his love is truly working in us. This is how we know that we are living in him.
But anyone who obeys God's message shows that he really loves God completely. So this is how we know that we belong to God.
If anyone keeps God’s word, the love of God is truly made complete in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:
but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:
But if someone ·obeys [keeps] ·God’s teaching [L his word], then in that person ·God’s love [or love for God] has ·truly reached its goal [been fulfilled/perfected/completed]. This is how we can be sure we are ·living in God [L in him]:

But whoever continually keeps his commandments is the kind of person in whom God’s love has truly been perfected. This is how we can be sure that we are in union with God:
It is only when we obey God’s laws that we can be quite sure that we really know him. The man who claims to know God but does not obey his laws is not only a liar but lives in self-delusion. In practice, the more a man learns to obey God’s laws the more truly and fully does he express his love for him. Obedience is the test of whether we really live “in God” or not. The life of a man who professes to be living in God must bear the stamp of Christ.
But whosoever keeps his word, in him verily is the charity of God perfected: hereby know we 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.

But whoever keeps his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
But those who do what Christ tells them to will learn to love God more and more. That is the way to know whether or not you are a Christian.
If someone claims, “I know him well!” but doesn’t keep his commandments, he’s obviously a liar. His life doesn’t match his words. But the one who keeps God’s word is the person in whom we see God’s mature love. This is the only way to be sure we’re in God. Anyone who claims to be intimate with God ought to live the same kind of life Jesus lived.
But whoever keeps His word truly has the love of God perfected in him. By this we know we are in Him.
But whoever keeps his · word, truly in that person is the love of God brought to fulfillment. This is how we can be sure that we are in him:

and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.
