1 John 2:3

And by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
Read Chapter 2

Cyprian of Carthage

AD 258
He that saith he knoweth Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
We have known him, if we keep his commandments. He speaks of that practical knowledge by love and affection, which can be only proved by our keeping his commandments; and without which we cannot be said to know God, as we should. (Challoner)

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
