And this is his command: that we believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us.
In context
21Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God, 22and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. 23And this is his command: that we believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us. 24Whoever keeps his commands remains in God, and God remains in him. This is how we know that God remains in us: by the Spirit he has given us.
