I John 3:16-24<br />
New Revised Standard Version<br />
16 We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought<br />
to lay down our lives for one another. 17 How does God’s love abide in<br />
anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need<br />
and yet refuses help?<br />
18 Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and<br />
action. 19 And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will<br />
reassure our hearts before him 20 whenever our hearts condemn us; for<br />
God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if<br />
our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God; 22 and we<br />
receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his<br />
commandments and do what pleases him.<br />
23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name <strong>of</strong><br />
his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded<br />
us. 24 All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in<br />
them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has<br />
given us.<br />
