1 John 2:4–5

⁶If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

¹⁶They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

¹⁴What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

¹⁵If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

¹⁶And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

⁸If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

²⁰If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

⁹He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

²Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.

³Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

¹⁰If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

²³Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

²¹He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

¹²No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

¹³Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

²⁸But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

²⁴And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

²Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

²By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

¹²Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

³And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

⁴He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

²⁷And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

⁵I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

¹⁵Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

¹⁶And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

¹⁸There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

¹⁴⁶I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

¹⁷Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

³⁰But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

²⁰And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

¹⁷And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹THERE is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

²¹For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

⁹For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

¹⁰And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

⁵Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.

²²Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

⁵⁶He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

³Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

²⁷But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

²⁸And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

³²Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

⁴Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

⁷Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

⁴⁵That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.
