He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked.
For you were not called to this? For Christ also suffered on our behalf, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps,
For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
Everyone who abides in Him does not sin. Everyone who sins has not seen Him nor known Him.
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor.
Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls.
He who says, I have known Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He is revealed, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him in His coming.
Righteousness shall go before Him and shall set us in the way of His steps.
If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
And he who keeps His commandment dwells in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He gave to us.
In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that as He is, so also we are in this world.
