1 John 3:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 We know love by this, that (A)He laid down His life for us; and (B)we ought to lay down our lives for the (C)brothers and sisters. 17 But (D)whoever has worldly goods and sees his brother or sister in need, and (E)closes his [a]heart [b]against him, (F)how does the love of God remain in him? 18 (G)Little children, let’s not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and (H)truth.

American Standard Version
16 Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath the world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.
