I�m translating a letter but I've got many doubts about what would be the best option in Spanish for this "The more you know in your heart the more you will become like him"

I woud say Cuanto m�s conozcas de �l en tu coraz�n, actuaras m�s como �l"

However, I�m not sure.

Thanks in advance

Hi Joulin,
I would interpret this different, since the phrase involves "heart", maybe it could be translated with "feelings" or something similar.
Mientras m�s sientas como El, m�s cerca de El estar�s.

Mientras m�s tus sentimientos se parezcan a los de El, m�s actuar�s como El.

I assume El is God, right? That's why I wrote the first phrase,
"m�s cerca de El estar�s". This is a way to say in Spanish that if you are closer to God, you act more like Him.

Hope it helps!
