1 John 3:18-21

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth.^(A)

¹⁹ This is how we will know that we belong to the truth^(B) and will reassure our hearts before him ²⁰ whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows all things.^(C)

²¹ Dear friends, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have confidence before God
