1 John 2:2-6
New International Version
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,(A) and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.(B)
Love and Hatred for Fellow Believers
3 We know(C) that we have come to know him(D) if we keep his commands.(E) 4 Whoever says, “I know him,”(F) but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.(G) 5 But if anyone obeys his word,(H) love for God[a] is truly made complete in them.(I) This is how we know(J) we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.(K)

1 John 2:2-6
King James Version
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

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 (C)liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But (D)whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected (E)in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 (F)He who says he abides in Him (G)ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
