1 John 2:6

He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
All Commentaries on 1 John 2:6 Go To 1 John 2

Cyprian of Carthage

AD 258
For this is to wish to be found with Christ, to imitate that which Christ both taught and did, according to the Apostle John, who said, "He that saith he abideth in Christ, ought himself also so to walk even as He walked.". It is written, and it is read and heard, and is celebrated for our example by the Church's mouth, "He that saith he abideth in Christ. ought himself also so to walk even as He walked.". But if we also, beloved brethren, are in Christ; if we put Him on, if He is the way of our salvation, who follow Christ in the footsteps of salvation, let us walk by the example of Christ, as the Apostle John instructs us, saying, "He who saith he abideth in Christ, ought himself also to walk even as He walked.". Of this same thing in the Epistle of John: "He who saith he abideth in Christ, ought himself also to walk even as He walked."
