¹⁶ We know love by this, that ^(A)He laid down His life for us; and ^(B)we ought to lay down our lives for the ^(C)brothers and sisters. ¹⁷ But ^(D)whoever has worldly goods and sees his brother or sister in need, and ^(E)closes his ^[a]heart ^[b]against him, ^(F)how does the love of God remain in him? ^18 (G)Little children, let’s not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and ^(H)truth. ¹⁹ We will know by this that we are ^(I)of the truth, and will set our heart at ease before Him, ²⁰ that if our heart condemns us, that God is greater than our heart, and He knows all things.

Come to Me

^25 [a](A)At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, ^(B)Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that ^(C)You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to infants. ²⁶ Yes, ^(D)Father, for this way was well pleasing in Your sight. ^27 (E)All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father ^(F)except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son determines to reveal Him.

²⁸ “^(G)Come to Me, all ^[b]who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take My yoke upon you and ^(H)learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and ^(I)you will find ^[c]rest for your souls. ³⁰ For ^(J)My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light.”
