1 John 3:17-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.

¹⁹ In this we know that we are of the truth: and in his sight shall persuade our hearts.

²⁰ For if our heart reprehend us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

²¹ Dearly beloved, if our heart do not reprehend us, we have confidence towards God:

²² And whatsoever we shall ask, we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
