1 John 3:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.

Courage before God

¹⁹ This, then, is how we will know that we belong to the truth; this is how we will be confident in God's presence. ²⁰ If our conscience condemns us, we know that God is greater than our conscience and that he knows everything.
