1 John 3:16-24

Diaglott(i) 16 By this we have known the love, because he on behalf of us the life of himself laid down; and we ought on behalf of the brethren the lives to lay down. 17 Who but may have the substance of the world, and may see the brother of himself need having, and may close the bowels of himself from him, how the love of the God abides in him? 18 Dear children of me, not we should love in word nor in the tongue, but in work and in truth. 19 And by this we know, that of the truth we are, and in presence of him we shall assure the hearts of us, 20 because, if should condemn us the heart, that greater is the God of the heart of us, and knows all things. 21 Beloved ones, if the heart of us not should condemn us, boldness we have towards the God, 22 and whatever we may ask, we receive from him, because the commandments of him we keep, and the things pleasing in presence of him we do. 23 And this is the commandment of him, that we should believe in the name of the son of him Jesus Anointed, and should love each other, as he gave commandment to us. 24 And the one keeping the commandments of him, in him abides, and he in him; and by this we know, that he abides in us, from the spirit, of which to us he gave.
