1 John 2:6

2 He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

3 By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.

4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:

6 Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.

7 Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.

8 Then again, I am also writing to you a new commandment, which is true in Him and also in you. For the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining.

9 If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.

10 Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him.
