Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² and whatsoever we may ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things pleasing before him. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment. ²⁴ And the one keeping his commandments abides in him, and he in him; and in this we know that he abides in us, he has given us of his Spirit.
