1 John 3:16-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ By this we have perceived love: that He laid down His life for us. Therefore, we also ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

¹⁷ And whoever has this world’s goods and sees his brother has need and shuts up his compassion from him, how does the love of God dwell in him?

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

¹⁹ For by this we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before Him.

²⁰ For if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
