1 John 2:6

Following JesusJesus Christ

4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:

Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.

7 Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.

8 Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.
