1 John 3:16-18

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁶ in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

¹⁷ and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?

¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!
