1 John5:2
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God , and keep his commandments.
It is not otherwise to be known that we truly love the Children of God, as such: For if we do, we must love them upon God's account, in conformity to him, and obedience to his Commandments; wherefore our true Love to them, supposes our Love to him, and is to be evinced by it.
