16. By this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
17. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his tender affections from him, how does the love of Elohim stay in him?
18. My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
19. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall set our hearts at rest before Him,
20. that if our heart condemns us, Elohim is greater than our heart, and knows all.
21. Beloved ones, if our heart does not condemn us, we have boldness toward Elohim.
22. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we guard His commands and do what is pleasing in His sight.
23. And this is His command, that we should believe in the Name of His Son יהושע Messiah and love one another, as He gave us command.
24. And the one guarding His commands stays in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He stays in us, by the Spirit which He gave us.
