1 John 3:18-22

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁸ My children, our love should not be only words and talk. No, our love must be real. We must show our love by the things we do.

^19-20 That’s how we know we belong to the way of truth. And when our hearts make us feel guilty, we can still have peace before God, because God is greater than our hearts. He knows everything.

²¹ My dear friends, if we don’t feel that we are doing wrong, we can be without fear when we come to God. ²² And God gives us what we ask for. We receive it because we obey God’s commands and do what pleases him.
