The one who says, "I have come to know Him," without keeping His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

the one who says he remains in Him should walk just as He walked.

We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.

that is how we will know we are of the truth, and will convince our hearts in His presence,

This is how we know that we remain in Him and He in us: He has given to us from His Spirit.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the sway of the evil one.

He will see [it] out of His anguish, and He will be satisfied with His knowledge. My righteous servant will justify many, and He will carry their iniquities.

This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One You have sent-- Jesus Christ.

For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness"-- He has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of God's glory in the face of Jesus Christ.

and can receive whatever we ask from Him because we keep His commands and do what is pleasing in His sight.

Now this is His command: that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another as He commanded us.

For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands. Now His commands are not a burden,

Then I would not be ashamed when I think about all Your commands.

I pursue the way of Your commands, for You broaden my understanding.

"Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things I say?

"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

The one who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him."

Jesus answered, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

If you keep My commands you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commands and remain in His love.

You are My friends if you do what I command you.

Finally then, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us how you must walk and please God-- as you are doing-- do so even more.

For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

After He was perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

"Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates.
