1 John 3:17-22

17But whoso may have the world's substance, and see his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abides the love of 1God in him?

18Children, let us not love with word, nor with tongue, but in deed and in truth.

19And hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before him —

20that if our heart condemn us, 2God is greater than our heart and knows all things.

21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness towards 3God,

22and whatsoever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and practise the things which are pleasing in his sight.
