1 John 2:4
1 John 2:4 King James Version (KJV)
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 2:4-6 The Message (MSG)
If someone claims, “I know him well!” but doesn’t keep his commandments, he’s obviously a liar. His life doesn’t match his words. But the one who keeps God’s word is the person in whom we see God’s mature love. This is the only way to be sure we’re in God. Anyone who claims to be intimate with God ought to live the same kind of life Jesus lived.
