1 John 3:15-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
15Everyone who hates his brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. 16We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers and sisters. 17But whoever has worldly goods and sees his brother or sister in need, and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God remain in him? 18Little children, let’s not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth. 19We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will set our heart at ease before Him,King James Version
Chapter 3
15Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
15Everyone who hates his brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. 16This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17If anyone has this world’s goods and sees a fellow believer in need but withholds compassion from him—how does God’s love reside in him? 18Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth.New Living Translation
English Standard Version
16By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
17But if anyone has the world 's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God 's love abide in him?
18Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
New International Version
16This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
17If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?
18Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
