in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;
`These things I command you, that ye love one another;
and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;
and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.
we--we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.
and this is the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.
