1 John 2:3-6
New King James Version
The Test of Knowing Him
3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a (A)liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But (B)whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected (C)in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 (D)He who says he abides in Him (E)ought himself also to 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.
