1 John 3:22-24 and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we are keeping his commandments and are practicing the things which are pleasing in his sight.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we are keeping his commandments and are practicing the things which are pleasing in his sight. ²³ And this is his commandment, in order that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and should love one another, just-as he gave commandment to us. ²⁴ And he who is keeping his commandments abides in him and he in him. And we know in this that he abides in us, from the Spirit whom he gave us.
