18. Dear children, don't just talk about love. Put your love into action. Then it will truly be love.
19. That's how we know that we hold to the truth. And that's how we put our hearts at rest, knowing that God is watching.
20. Our hearts may judge us. But God is greater than our hearts. He knows everything.
21. Dear friends, if our hearts do not judge us, we can be bold with God.
22. And he will give us anything we ask. That's because we obey his commands. We do what pleases him.
23. God has commanded us to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ. He has also commanded us to love one another.
