1 John 3:19-24

19We will know by this that we are 1of the truth, and will set our heart at ease before Him, 20that if our heart condemns us, that God is greater than our heart, and He knows all things. 21 2Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have 3confidence 4before God; 22and 5whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we 6keep His commandments and do 7the things that are pleasing in His sight.

23This is His commandment, that we 8 9believe in 10the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as 11He 12commanded us. 24The one who 13keeps His commandments 14remains in Him, and He in him. 15We know by this that 16He remains in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
