1 John 3:17-24
17But 1whoeverG3739G302 hasG2192 the world’sG2889 goodsG979, and seesG2334 his brotherG80 in needG5532 and 2closesG2808 his 3heartG4698 4againstG575 him, 5howG4459 does the loveG26 of GodG2316 abideG3306 in him? 186LittleG5040 childrenG5040, let us not loveG25 with wordG3056 orG3366 with tongueG1100, but in deedG2041 and 7truthG225. 19We will knowG1097 by thisG3778 that we are 8of the truthG225, and will 9assureG3982 our heartG2588 beforeG1715 Him 2010in whateverG3739G5100G1437 our heartG2588 condemnsG2607 us; for GodG2316 is greaterG3173 than our heartG2588 and knowsG1097 allG3956 thingsG3956. 2111BelovedG27, ifG1437 our heartG2588 does not condemnG2607 us, we haveG2192 12confidenceG3954 13beforeG4314 GodG2316; 22and 14whateverG3739G1437 we askG154 we receiveG2983 from Him, becauseG3754 we 15keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785 and doG4160 16the things that are pleasingG701 in His sightG1799.
23ThisG3778 is His commandmentG1785, that we 1718believeG4100 in 19the nameG3686 of His SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, justG2531 as 20He 21commandedG1325G1785 us. 24The one who 22keepsG5083 His commandmentsG1785 23abidesG3306 in Him, and He in him. 24We knowG1097 by thisG3778 that 25He abidesG3306 in us, by the SpiritG4151 whomG3739 He has givenG1325 us.
