Read in context

1 John 3:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

24 Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.
