16 By this we know love, that (D)he laid down his life for us, and (E)we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But (F)if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet (G)closes his heart against him, (H)how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not (I)love in word or talk but in deed and (J)in truth.
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
