1 John 3:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

19 And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence:

20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.

21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,

22 and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.

23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.
