1 John 3:18-22

18Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue but in deed and truth.

19And by this we will know that we are of the truth and will convince our conscience in his presence,

20that if our conscience condemns us, that God is greater than our conscience and knows all things.

21Dear friends, if our conscience does not condemn us, we have confidence in the presence of God,

22and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing to him.
