That saith

The man who says 'I know Jesus,' but does not lay his commands to heart, is a liar, and the Truth has no place in him;

If we say that we have communion with him, and yet continue to live in the Darkness, we lie, and are not living the Truth.

To walk

But, if our lives are lived in the Light, as God himself is in the Light, we have communion with one another, and the Blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly-minded, and 'you shall find rest for your souls';

For I have given you an example, so that you may do just as I have done to you.

Imitate me, as I myself imitate Christ.

And live a life of love, following the example of the Christ, who loved you and gave himself for you as 'an offering and a sacrifice to God, that should be fragrant and acceptable.'

For it was to this that you were called! For Christ, too, suffered--on your behalf--and left you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
