and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

and whatever spirit confesses not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, is not from God: and this is the spirit of antichrist, of which you have heard that it comes, and is now already in the world.

For whatever is begotten of God, overcomes the world; and this is the victorious principle that overcomes the world, even our faith.

And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
