²² But ^(A)be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

⁷ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

¹⁷ But ^(A)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, ^(B)let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. ¹⁹ And by this we ^[a]know ^(C)that we are of the truth, and shall ^[b]assure our hearts before Him.
