ACV(i)
18 My little children, we should not love in word, nor with the tongue, but in deed and in truth.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and will assure our hearts before him.
20 Because if our heart should condemn us, that God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart should not condemn us, we have confidence toward God,
22 and whatever we may ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do things pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other, just as he gave command.
24 And he who keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, from the Spirit that he gave us.
