3 E nisto sabemos que o conhecemos, se guardamos os seus mandamentos.

4 Aquele que diz: “Eu o conheço”, mas não guarda os seus mandamentos, é mentiroso, e nele não está a verdade.

5 Mas quem guarda a sua palavra, nele verdadeiramente o amor de Deus tem se aperfeiçoado; nisso sabemos que estamos nele.

6 Aquele que diz que está nele também deve andar como ele andou.

7 Irmãos, não vos escrevo um mandamento novo, mas sim o mandamento antigo, que tivestes desde o princípio. Este mandamento antigo é a palavra que ouvistes desde o princípio.
