1 John 2:4 Context
2And he is the propitiation for our sinnes: and not for ours onely, but also for the sinnes of the whole world. 3And hereby wee doe knowe that we know him, if we keepe his commandements. 4He that saith, I knowe him, and keepeth not his commandements, is a lyer, and the trueth is not in him. 5But who so keepeth his word, in him verely is the loue of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6He that sayeth he abideth in him, ought himselfe also so to walke, euen as he walked.
