1 John 3:18 CPDV

¹⁶  We know the love of God in this way: because he laid down his life for us. And so, we must lay down our lives for our brothers.

¹⁷  Whoever possesses the goods of this world, and sees his brother to be in need, and yet closes his heart to him: in what way does the love of God abide in him?

¹⁸  My little sons, let us not love in words only, but in works and in truth.

¹⁹  In this way, we will know that we are of the truth, and we will commend our hearts in his sight.

²⁰  For even if our heart reproaches us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things.
