1 John 3:19-24

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ We will know by this that we are ^(A)of the truth, and will ^[a]assure our heart before Him ^20 [b]in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things. ^21 (B)Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have ^(C)confidence ^[c]before God; ²² and ^(D)whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we ^(E)keep His commandments and do ^(F)the things that are pleasing in His sight.

²³ This is His commandment, that we ^[d](G)believe in ^(H)the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as ^(I)He ^[e]commanded us. ²⁴ The one who ^(J)keeps His commandments ^(K)abides in Him, and He in him. ^(L)We know by this that ^(M)He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
