← 1 John 2:4	1 John 2:5 (KJV)	1 John 2:6 →
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.	But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.	He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

• G1097 — γινώσκω (ginṓskō, ghin-oce'-ko): I come to know, learn, realize — a prolonged form of a primary verb; to "know" (absolutely) in a great variety of applications and with many implications (as follow, with others not thus clearly expressed):--allow, be aware (of), feel, (have) know(-ledge), perceived, be resolved, can speak, be sure, understand.
