1 John 5:2

Contemporary English Version 1995

If we love and obey God, we know we will love his children.

See the chapter Copy

We truly love God only when we obey him as we should, and then we know we belong to him.

The commandment that God has given us is: “Love God and love each other!”

So I command you to love each other.

When we obey God, we are sure we know him.

Our love for each other proves we have gone from death to life. But if you don't love each other, you are still under the power of death.
