1 John 3:16-18

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁶ This is how we know love: he laid down his life for us. And we too ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. ¹⁷ Anyone who has the means of life in this world, and sees a brother or sister in need, and closes their heart against them—how can God’s love be abiding in them? ¹⁸ Children, let us not love in word, or in speech, but in deed and in truth.
