That man therefore answered and said, If he is sinful, I know not. One thing I know, that being blind, now I see. But again they said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes? He answered them, I told you already, and ye did not listen. Why do ye want to hear it again? Do ye not also want to become his disciples? They reviled him, and said, Thou are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but this man, we know not where he is from. The man answered and said to them, For in this it is amazing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes. And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man. From the age, it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of a man who was born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him, Thou were born entirely in sins, and thou teach us. And they cast him outside. Jesus heard that they cast him outside. And having found him, he said to him, Do thou believe in the Son of God? That man answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? And Jesus said to him, Thou have both seen him, and he is that man who speaks with thee. And he affirmed, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.

For a man believes in the heart for righteousness, and he confesses with the mouth for salvation. For the scripture says, Every man who believes in him will not be shamed.
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this man.
