¹⁵ “^(A)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

^21 (A)The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and ^(B)the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will ^(C)reveal Myself to him.”

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “^(A)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(B)follow My word; and ^(C)My Father will love him, and We ^(D)will come to him and make Our dwelling with him.

^3 (A)By this we know that we have come to ^(B)know Him, if we ^(C)keep His commandments. ⁴ The one who says, “^(D)I have come to ^(E)know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a ^(F)liar, and ^(G)the truth is not in him; ⁵ but whoever ^(H)follows His word, in him the ^(I)love of God has truly been perfected. ^(J)By this we know that we are in Him:

³ For ^(A)this is the love of God, that we ^(B)keep His commandments; and ^(C)His commandments are not burdensome.

⁶ And ^(A)this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, ^(B)just as you have heard ^(C)from the beginning, that you are to walk in it.

¹⁷ So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to ^(A)make war with the rest of her ^[a](B)children, who ^(C)keep the commandments of God and ^(D)hold to the testimony of Jesus.

¹² Here is ^(A)the ^[a]perseverance of the ^[b]saints who ^(B)keep the commandments of God and ^[c](C)their faith in Jesus.
