NSB(i)
18 My Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.
19 By this we shall know we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before him.
20 If our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us we have confidence toward God.
22 Whatever we ask we receive from Him because we obey His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another. He gave us this commandment!
24 The one who obeys God's commandments lives in God, and God lives in (with) Him. We know that He lives in (with) us by the Spirit He gave us.
