The Test of Knowing Him
3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a aliar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But awhoever keeps His word, truly the love of God1 is perfected bin him. By this we know that we are in Him.
6 aHe who says he abides in Him bought himself also to walk just as He walked.
7 1Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had afrom the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard2 from the beginning.
