1 John 3:17-19
Worldwide English (New Testament)
17 Perhaps a man has plenty of food and things. He sees that his brother needs some. If he does not want to help his brother, does he love God?
18 My children, we must not only talk about loving people; we must show we love people by what we do for them. We must really love them.
19 And this is how we will know that we are true. This is why we will not be afraid in front of God.
