1 John 3:17-24

17IfG302 anyoneG3739 withG2192 earthlyG2889 possessionsG979 seesG2334 hisG846 brotherG80 in needG5532, but withholdsG2808 hisG846 compassionG4698 fromG575 himG846, howG4459 can theG3588 loveG26 of GodG2316 abideG3306 inG1722 himG846?

18Little childrenG5040, let us loveG25 notG3361 in wordG3056 and speechG1100, butG235 inG1722 actionG2041 andG2532 truthG225. 19AndG2532 byG1722 thisG3778 we will knowG1097 thatG3754 we belong toG1510G1537 theG3588 truthG225, andG2532 will assureG3982 ourG1473 heartsG2588 in His presenceG1715G846: 20EvenG3754 ifG1437 ourG1473 heartsG2588 condemnG2607 us, GodG2316 isG1510 greater thanG3173 ourG1473 heartsG2588, andG2532 He knowsG1097 all thingsG3956.

21BelovedG27, ifG1437 ourG1473 heartsG2588 do not condemnG3361G2607 us, we haveG2192 confidenceG3954 beforeG4314 GodG2316, 22andG2532 we will receiveG2983 fromG575 HimG846 whateverG3739G1437 we askG154, becauseG3754 we keepG5083 HisG846 commandmentsG1785 andG2532 doG4160 whatG3588 is pleasingG701 in His sightG1799G846. 23AndG2532 thisG3778 isG1510 HisG846 commandmentG1785: thatG2443 we should believeG4100 in theG3588 nameG3686 of HisG846 SonG5207, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 we should loveG25 one anotherG240 just asG2531 He commandedG1325G1785 usG1473. 24WhoeverG3588 keepsG5083 HisG846 commandmentsG1785 remainsG3306 inG1722 God, andG2532 God inG1722 himG846. AndG2532 byG1722 thisG3778 we knowG1097 thatG3754 He remainsG3306 inG1722 usG1473: byG1537 theG3588 SpiritG4151 He has givenG1325 usG1473.
