1 John 2:4-5

2:4 The one who says “I have come to know God” 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 word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.

tn Grk “know him.” See the note on the phrase “know God” in 1 John 2:3 for explanation.

tn The referent of this pronoun is probably to be understood as God, since God is the nearest previous antecedent.

tn Grk “in him.”
