16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
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 and sisters.
17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
17
If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?
