1 John 2:2-6
2and He Himself is 1the 2propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also 3for the sins of the whole world.
34By this we know that we have come to 5know Him, if we 6keep His commandments. 4The one who says, “7I have come to 8know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a 9liar, and 10the truth is not in him; 5but whoever 11follows His word, in him the 12love of God has truly been perfected. 13By this we know that we are in Him: 6the one who says that he 14remains in Him 15ought, himself also, to walk just as He walked.
