'Know' in the Bible

And by this we may know that we know Him--if we obey His commands.

He who professes to know Him, and yet does not obey His commands, is a liar, and the truth has no place in his heart.

But whoever obeys His Message, in him love for God has in very deed reached perfection. By this we can know that we are in Him.

But he who hates his brother man is in darkness and is walking in darkness; and he does not know where he is going--because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.

Dear children, the last hour has come; and as you once heard that there was to be an anti-Christ, so even now many anti-Christs have appeared. By this we may know that the last hour has come.

I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you know it, and you know that nothing false comes from the truth.

Since you know that He is righteous, be assured also that the man who habitually acts righteously is a child of His.

Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we are to be in the future has not yet been fully revealed. We know that if Christ reappears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.

And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life--because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him.

We know what love is--through Christ's having laid down His life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay down our lives for our brother men.

And in this way we shall come to know that we are loyal to the truth, and shall satisfy our consciences in His presence

The man who obeys His commands continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him; and through His Spirit whom He has given us we can know that He continues in union with us.

The man who is beginning to know God listens to us, but he who is not a child of God does not listen to us. By this test we can distinguish the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error.

Dear friends, let us love one another; for love has its origin in God, and every one who loves has become a child of God and is beginning to know God.

We can know that we are continuing in union with Him and that He is continuing in union with us, by the fact that He has given us a portion of His Spirit.

And, as for us, we know the love which God has for us, and we confide in it. God is love, and he who continues to love continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him.

I write all this to you in order that you who believe in the Son of God may know for certain that you already have the Life of the Ages.

And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.

We know that no one who is a child of God lives in sin, but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil one cannot touch him.

We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the Evil one.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we know the true One, and are in union with the true One--that is, we are in union with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the Life of the Ages.
