1 John 2:3-6
New King James Version
The Test of Knowing Him
3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a (A)liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But (B)whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected (C)in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 (D)He who says he abides in Him (E)ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

The Race of Faith
12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, (A)let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and (B)let us run (C)with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the [a]author and [b]finisher of our faith, (D)who for the joy that was set before Him (E)endured the cross, despising the shame, and (F)has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
