But you may be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known what time the thief was coming, he would have been on the watch, and would not have let his house be broken into.

If you know that he is upright, you may be sure that everyone who acts uprightly is his child.

This is how we can be sure that we love the children of God: it is by loving God and obeying his commands.
