In context
15 Whoever hateth his brother, is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we perceive the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren.
17 But he who 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?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20 For if our heart condemneth us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart doth not condemn us, [then] have we confidence towards God.
