1 John 2:2-6

2and He HimselfG846 is 1the 2propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266; and not for oursG2251 onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 3for the sins of the wholeG3650 worldG2889.

34By thisG3778 we knowG1097 that we have come to 5knowG1097 Him, ifG1437 we 6keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785. 4The one who saysG3004, “7I have come to 8knowG1097 Him,” and does not keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785, is a 9liarG5583, and 10the truthG225 is not in him; 5but whoeverG3739G302 11followsG5083 His wordG3056, in him the 12loveG26 of GodG2316 has trulyG230 been perfectedG5048. 13By thisG3778 we knowG1097 that we are in Him: 6the one who saysG3004 that he 14remainsG3306 in Him 15oughtG3784, himselfG846 alsoG2532, to walkG4043 justG2531 asG2531 He walkedG4043.
