1 John 3
16 Ref in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;
17 Ref and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?
18 Ref My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!
19 Ref and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,
20 Ref because if our heart may condemn -- because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things.
21 Ref Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
22 Ref and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,
23 Ref and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,
24 Ref and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.
