Bible: 1 John 2:3-5; 3:19-21

Keeping God’s Commandments

2:3 Now 1  by this we know that we have come to know God: 2  if we keep his commandments. 2:4 The one who says “I have come to know God 3  and yet does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in such a person. 2:5 But whoever obeys his 4  word, truly in this person 5  the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.

3:19 By the sweat of your brow 1  you will eat food

until you return to the ground, 2 

for out of it you were taken;

for you are dust, and to dust you will return.” 3 

3:20 The man 4  named his wife Eve, 5  because 6  she was the mother of all the living. 7  3:21 The Lord God made garments from skin 8  for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
