1 John 3:16-18 By this we have known the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ By this we have known the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. ¹⁷ But whoever has this world's goods and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his bowels from him, how does the love of God dwell in him? ¹⁸ My children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
