²³ Jesus 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.

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

²⁴ And 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.

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

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

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

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

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