1 John 3:18-24

18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him;

19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence:

20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God

22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.

23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
