(F)By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he (G)abides in him (H)ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

God’s Commands
3 This is how we are sure(A) that we have come to know Him: by keeping His commands.(B) 4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” yet doesn't keep His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word,(C) truly in him the love of God is perfected.[a] This is how we know we are in Him:(D) 6 The one who says he remains in Him(E) should walk just as He walked.
