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.

New King James Version
The Outworking of Love
16 (A)By this we know love, (B)because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But (C)whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
18 My little children, (D)let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
