1 John 2:4-6
New International Version
4 Whoever says, “I know him,”(A) but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.(B) 5 But if anyone obeys his word,(C) love for God[a] is truly made complete in them.(D) This is how we know(E) we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.(F)

1 John 2:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
4 Whoever says, “I have come to know him,” but does not obey his commandments, is a liar, and in such a person the truth does not exist; 5 but whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him: 6 whoever says, “I abide in him,” ought to walk just as he walked.
