1 John 2:3-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
3 And by this we know that we have come-to-know Him: if we are keeping His commandments. 4 The one claiming that “I have come-to-know Him” and not keeping His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in this one. 5 But whoever is keeping His word, truly the love of God has been perfected[a] in this one. By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one claiming to be abiding in Him ought just as that One walked also himself thus to be walking.
