1 John 2:3-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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.

Lexham English Bible
3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 The one who says “I have come to know him,” and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in this person. 5 But whoever keeps his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him. 6 The one who says that he resides in him ought also to walk[a] just as that one walked.
