1 John 2:4
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
In context
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.
