Whoever says he remains in Him ought to walk as He walked.
Righteousness will go before Him and prepare a way for His footsteps.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me. For I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, even as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.
Follow me as I follow Christ.
Walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us as a fragrant offering and a sacrifice to God.
For to this you were called, because Christ suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
And now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him when He comes.
Whoever says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Now the one who keeps His commandments remains in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He remains in us, through the Spirit whom He has given us.
Whoever remains in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has not seen Him and does not know Him.
In this way God’s love is perfected in us, so that we may have boldness on the Day of Judgment, because as He is, so are we in this world.
