18. My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
19. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and persuade our hearts before him,
20. because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21. Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness towards God;
22. and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
