1 John 3:16-19
16We knowG1097 loveG26 by thisG3778, that 1He laidG5087 downG5087 His lifeG5590 for us; and 2we oughtG3784 to layG5087 downG5087 our livesG5590 for the 3brethrenG80.
17But 4whoeverG3739G302 hasG2192 the world’sG2889 goodsG979, and seesG2334 his brotherG80 in needG5532 and 5closesG2808 his 6heartG4698 7againstG575 him, 8howG4459 does the loveG26 of GodG2316 abideG3306 in him?
189LittleG5040 childrenG5040, let us not loveG25 with wordG3056 orG3366 with tongueG1100, but in deedG2041 and 10truthG225.
19We will knowG1097 by thisG3778 that we are 11of the truthG225, and will 12assureG3982 our heartG2588 beforeG1715 Him
