1 JOHN 2:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.”
But whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in him — keeping the word (logos) represents obedience; such obedience permits divine love to reach its telos (perfection). The phrase in him (en autō) suggests mystical union achieved through ethical alignment. Knowledge of being in God is confirmed through obedience.
