16
We
know
love
by
this
, that
1
He
laid
down
His
life
for us; and
2
we
ought
to
lay
down
our
lives
for the
3
brethren
.
17
But
4
whoever
*
has
the
world's
goods
, and
sees
his
brother
in
need
and
5
closes
his
heart
against
him,
6
how
does the
love
of
God
abide
in him?
18
7
Little
children
, let us not
love
with
word
or
with
tongue
, but in
deed
and
8
truth
.
19
We will
know
by
this
that we are
9
of the
truth
, and will
assure
our
heart
before
Him
20
in
whatever
*
*
our
heart
condemns
us; for
God
is
greater
than our
heart
and
knows
all
things
.
21
10
Beloved
,
if
our
heart
does not
condemn
us, we
have
11
confidence
before
God
;
22
and
12
whatever
*
we
ask
we
receive
from Him,
because
we
13
keep
His
commandments
and
do
14
the things that are
pleasing
in His
sight
.
23
This
is His
commandment
, that we
15
believe
in
16
the
name
of His
Son
Jesus
Christ
, and
love
one
another
,
just
as
17
He
commanded
*
us.
