1 John 3:17-24

17But if someone has material possessions and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

18Children, let us not love with word or talk, but in deed and truth!

19By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and set our heart at rest before Him

20whenever our heart condemns us. For God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

21Loved ones, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

22and whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.

23Now this is His commandment—that we should believe in the name of His Son, Yeshua the Messiah, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

24The one who keeps His commandments abides in God, and God in him. We know that He abides in us by this—by the Spirit He has given us.
