1 John 3:17-24 Now whoever may be having a livelihood in this world, and may be beholding his brother having need, and should be locking his compassions from him

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Now whoever may be having a livelihood in this world, and may be beholding his brother having need, and should be locking his compassions from him - how is the love of God remaining in him? ¹⁸ Little children, we should not be loving in word, neither in tongue, but in act and truth." ¹⁹ And in this shall we be knowing that we are of the truth and shall be persuading our hearts in front of Him, ²⁰ seeing that, if our heart should be censuring us, God is greater than our heart, and He knows all." ²¹ Beloved, if our heart should not be censuring us, we have boldness toward God, ²² and whatsoever we may be requesting, we are obtaining from Him, for we are keeping His precepts and are doing what is pleasing in His sight." ²³ And this is His precept, that we should be believing in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and may be loving one another according as He gives us a precept." ²⁴ And he who is keeping His precepts is remaining in Him, and He in him. And in this we know that He is remaining in us, by the spirit which He gives us."
