1 John 3:16 NLT/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 16 We know what real love is because Christ gave up his life for us. And so we also ought to give up our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters. | 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. |
