NASB | 1 John 2:3 ¶ By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:3 ¶ And this is how we know [daily, by experience] that we have come to know Him [to understand Him and be more deeply acquainted with Him]: if we habitually keep [focused on His precepts and obey] His commandments (teachings). |

Bible Note: John, I understand those commandments and doctrines of men spoken about are the extra oral portions of the law. The parts that men came up with. (I wasn't even considering that it could be things to do with paganism, not even anything the gentile believers had brought in with them, all to do with the Jewish Oral Law.) There were all kinds of extra things tagged onto any one of the God-given observances, and they tended to steal away the original idea of what that particular "law" was even for. You folks have a great weekend, a blessed, safe holiday. I'll talk to you again on Sunday or Monday. |
