1 John 3:16-20

Rotherham(i) 16 Hereby, have we come to understand love: in that, He, for us, his life laid down; and, we, ought, for the brethren, our lives to lay down. 17 But, whoso hath this world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother having, need, and shutteth up his tender affections from him, how, is, the love of God, abiding in him? 18 Dear children! Let us not be loving in word, nor yet with the tongue, but in deed and truth. 19 Hereby, shall we get to know, that, of the truth, we are, and, before him, shall persuade our heart;
20 Because, if our own heart condemn us, greater, is God, than our heart, and perceiveth all things.
