16 By this we have known love, that (A)He laid down His life for us; and (B)we ought to lay down our lives for the (C)brothers. 17 But (D)whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and (E)closes his [a]heart [b]against him, (F)how does the love of God abide in him? 18 (G)Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and (H)truth.

New International Version
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.(A) And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.(B) 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them,(C) how can the love of God be in that person?(D) 18 Dear children,(E) let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.(F)
