1 John 3:13-24

13Do not beG2296 surprisedG2296, brothersG80 and sisters, ifG1487 1the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you. 14We knowG3609 that we have 2passedG3327 out of deathG2288 into lifeG2222, 3becauseG3754 we loveG25 the brothersG80 and sisters. The one who does not loveG25 remainsG3306 in deathG2288. 15EveryoneG3956 who 4hatesG3404 his brotherG80 or sister is a murdererG443, and you knowG3609 that 5noG3956 G3756 murdererG443 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222 remainingG3306 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 8brothersG80 and sisters. 17But 9whoeverG3739 G302 hasG2192 worldlyG2889 goodsG979 and seesG2334 his brotherG80 or sister in needG5532, and 10closesG2808 his 11heartG4698 12againstG575 him, 13howG4459 does the loveG26 of GodG2316 remainG3306 in him? 18 14LittleG5040 childrenG5040, let’s 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 setG3982 our heartG2588 atG3982 easeG3982 beforeG1715 Him, 20that ifG1437 our heartG2588 condemnsG2607 us, that GodG2316 is greaterG3173 than our heartG2588, and He knowsG1097 allG3956 thingsG3956. 21 17BelovedG27, ifG1437 our heartG2588 does not condemnG2607 us, we haveG2192 18confidenceG3954 19beforeG4314 GodG2316; 22and 20whateverG3739 G1437 we askG154, we receiveG2983 from Him, becauseG3754 we 21keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785 and doG4160 22the things that are pleasingG701 inG1799 His sightG1799.

23ThisG3778 is His commandmentG1785, that we 23 24believeG4100 in 25the nameG3686 of His SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, justG2531 asG2531 26He 27commandedG1325 G1785 us. 24The one who 28keepsG5083 His commandmentsG1785 29remainsG3306 in Him, and He in him. 30We knowG1097 by thisG3778 that 31He remainsG3306 in us, by the SpiritG4151 whomG3739 He has givenG1325 us.
