1 John 2:4 NLT
If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth.
1 John 2:5 NLT
But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him.
1 John 2:9 NLT
If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness.
1 John 2:10 NLT
Anyone who loves a fellow believer is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble.
1 John 2:12 NLT
I am writing to you who are God’s children because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus.
1 John 2:15 NLT
Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.
1 John 2:17 NLT
And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
1 John 2:20 NLT
But you are not like that, for the Holy One has given you his Spirit, and all of you know the truth.
1 John 2:21 NLT
So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies.
1 John 2:22 NLT
And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.
1 John 2:23 NLT
Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
