And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

Study Note
The confidence 'whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight' grounds answered prayer not in techniques of petition but in the relational alignment of keeping God's commandments — prayer as expression of friendship rather than mechanism of procurement. The preceding verse (3:21) conditions this confidence on 'our heart condemn us not,' indicating that conscience-alignment with God's will precedes the boldness (parrēsia) of petitionary prayer. The commandments of verse 23 are then specified: believing in Christ and loving one another — both relational, not merely regulatory. The verse complements James 4:3 ('ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss') and John 15:7 ('if ye abide in me…ask what ye will'), forming a consistent New Testament theology of prayer as relational intimacy finding expression in request.
