1 John 3:16-24

16By this we know love, that ahe laid down his life for us, and bwe ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17But cif anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet dcloses his heart against him, ehow does God’s love abide in him? 18Little children, let us not flove in word or talk but in deed and gin truth.

19By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21Beloved, hif our heart does not condemn us, iwe have confidence before God; 22and jwhatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and kdo what pleases him. 23And this is his commandment, lthat we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and mlove one another, njust as he has commanded us. 24 oWhoever keeps his commandments abides in God,
Greek him
and God
Greek he
in him. And rby this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

3 John 7-8

7For they have gone out for the sake of sthe name, taccepting nothing from the Gentiles. 8Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
