1 John 3:17-24

17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide 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?

18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

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

19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts 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 if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

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 toward 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 those things that are pleasing in His sight.

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 should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

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 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He 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.
