18 My dear children, let us put our love not into words or into talk but into deeds, and make it real.
19 Thus it is that we may be sure we belong to the truth and reassure ourselves
20 whenever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart, and he knows all.
21 If our heart does not condemn us, beloved, then we have confidence in approaching God,
22 and we get from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commands and do what is pleasing in his sight.
23 Now this is what he commands, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another as he has commanded us to do;
24 he who obeys his commands remains within him — and He remains within him. And this is how we may be sure he remains within us, by means of the Spirit he has given us.
