5 but whoever ^dkeeps his word, in him truly ^ethe love of God is perfected. ^fBy this we may know that we are in him:

6 whoever says he ^gabides in him ^hought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

27 But ^qthe anointing that you received from him abides in you, and ^ryou have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and ^sis true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.

Children of God

28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that ^twhen he appears ^uwe may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his ^vcoming.

6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; ⁿno one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.

24 ^rWhoever keeps his commandments abides in God,¹ and God² in him. And ^sby this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

13 ^sBy this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

16 So ^xwe have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. ^yGod is love, and ^zwhoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
