1 John 3:20-24

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

23This is His commandment, that we 7 8believe in 9the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as 10He 11commanded us. 24The one who 12keeps His commandments 13remains in Him, and He in him. 14We know by this that 15He remains in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
