1 John 3:13-24

13Do not be surprisedG2296, brethrenG80, ifG1487 1the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you. 14We knowG3609 that we have 2passedG3327 out of deathG2288 into lifeG2222, 3becauseG3754 we loveG25 the brethrenG80. He who does not loveG25 abidesG3306 in deathG2288. 15EveryoneG3956 who 4hatesG3404 his brotherG80 is a murdererG443; and you knowG3609 that 5noG3956 G3756 murdererG443 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222 abidingG3306 in him. 16We knowG1097 loveG26 by thisG3778, that 6He laidG5087 downG5087 His lifeG5590 for us; and 7we oughtG3784 to layG5087 downG5087 our livesG5590 for the 8brethrenG80. 17But 9whoeverG3739 G302 hasG2192 the world’sG2889 goodsG979, and seesG2334 his brotherG80 in needG5532 and 10closesG2808 his 11heartG4698 12againstG575 him, 13howG4459 does the loveG26 of GodG2316 abideG3306 in him? 18 14LittleG5040 childrenG5040, let us not loveG25 with wordG3056 orG3366 with tongueG1100, but in deedG2041 and 15truthG225. 19We will knowG1097 by thisG3778 that we are 16of the truthG225, and will 17assureG3982 our heartG2588 beforeG1715 Him 20 18in whateverG3739 G5100 G1437 our heartG2588 condemnsG2607 us; for GodG2316 is greaterG3173 than our heartG2588 and knowsG1097 allG3956 thingsG3956. 21 19BelovedG27, ifG1437 our heartG2588 does not condemnG2607 us, we haveG2192 20confidenceG3954 21beforeG4314 GodG2316; 22and 22whateverG3739 G1437 we askG154 we receiveG2983 from Him, becauseG3754 we 23keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785 and doG4160 24the things that are pleasingG701 in His sightG1799.

23ThisG3778 is His commandmentG1785, that we 25 26believeG4100 in 27the nameG3686 of His SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, justG2531 as 28He 29commandedG1325 G1785 us. 24The one who 30keepsG5083 His commandmentsG1785 31abidesG3306 in Him, and He in him. 32We knowG1097 by thisG3778 that 33He abidesG3306 in us, by the SpiritG4151 whomG3739 He has givenG1325 us.
