Joh. 1[He in whom the love of god is perfect, may hereby know that he is in Christ.] But he that keepeth his word, in him is the love of God: [i. not that love wherewith God loveth him; but that, whereby he loveth God] is perfect indeed: [i. sincere and sound: perfection being opposed not to imperfection, but to hypocrisy:] hereby [therefore] we know that we are in him. 2He that sayeth he remaineth in him, ought to walk even so, as he hath walked: [and therefore he must needs endeavour himself in the commandments.]
Ioh. 1[He in whom the loue of god is perfect, may hereby know that he is in Christ.] But he that keepeth his word, in him is the loue of God: [i. not that loue wherewith God loueth him; but that, whereby he loueth God] is perfect indeed: [i. sincere and sound: perfection being opposed not to imperfection, but to hypocrisie:] hereby [therefore] we know that we are in him. 2He that saieth he remaineth in him, ought to walke euen so, as he hath walked: [and therefore he must needes indeauour himselfe in the commandements.]
