1 John 3:19-24

Murdock(i) 19 And by this, we recognize that we are of the truth; and, before he shall come, we make our hearts confident. 20 But if our heart condemneth us, how much greater is God than our heart, and knowing all things? 21 My beloved, if our heart condemneth us not, we have open countenances before God. 22 And whatever we ask, we receive from him; because we keep his commandments, and do acceptable things before him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus the Messiah, and that we love one another as he hath commanded us. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we understand that he abideth in us, from his Spirit which he hath given to us.
