1 JOHN 3:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.”
And whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him — the request (aiteo) succeeds when obedience (tēreō entolē) and alignment (aresko) with God's will characterize the petitioner. Prayer's efficacy follows from ethical obedience. The causal connection reverses the world's logic.
