1 John 3:16-18

CAB(i) 16 By this we have come to know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives in behalf of our brothers. 17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother having need, and shuts off his compassion towards him, how does the love of God abide in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
