Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² and what we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things which are pleasing in his sight. ²³ And this is his commandment; that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another as he gave commandment. ²⁴ And he that keeps his commandments continues in him and he in him; and by this we know that he continues in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
