1 JOHN 2:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”
Whoever says 'I have come to know him' but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him — the claim of knowing God coupled with disobedience marks the speaker a liar (pseudesthēs). Truth (aletheia) is not merely doctrinal correctness but congruence between profession and practice. The liar's falsehood is existential, not merely verbal.
