He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor.
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
