1 John 2:3-10
31By thisG3778 we knowG1097 that we have come to 2knowG1097 Him, ifG1437 we 3keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785. 4The one who saysG3004, “4I have come to 5knowG1097 Him,” and does not keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785, is a 6liarG5583, and 7the truthG225 is not in him; 5but whoeverG3739G302 8followsG5083 His wordG3056, in him the 9loveG26 of GodG2316 has trulyG230 been perfectedG5048. 10By thisG3778 we knowG1097 that we are in Him: 6the one who saysG3004 that he 11remainsG3306 in Him 12oughtG3784, himselfG846 alsoG2532, to walkG4043 justG2531 asG2531 He walkedG4043.
713BelovedG27, I am 14not writingG1125 a newG2537 commandmentG1785 to you, but an oldG3820 commandmentG1785 whichG3739 you have hadG2192 15from the beginningG746; the oldG3820 commandmentG1785 is the wordG3056 whichG3739 you have heardG191. 816On the otherG3825 handG3825, I am writingG1125 17a newG2537 commandmentG1785 to you, whichG3739 is trueG227 in Him and in you, becauseG3754 18the darknessG4653 is passingG3855 awayG3855 and 19the trueG228 LightG5457 is alreadyG2235 shiningG5316. 9The one who saysG3004 that he is in the LightG5457 and yet 20hatesG3404 his 21brotherG80 or sister is in the darknessG4653 untilG2193 nowG737. 1022The one who lovesG25 his brotherG80 and sister remainsG3306 in the LightG5457, and there is nothingG3756 in him to causeG4625 stumblingG4625.
