And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him
20
whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
21
Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God;
22
and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him.

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