1 John 3:22 in Context — 1 John 3

20 car si notre cœur nous condamne, Dieu est plus grand que notre cœur, et il connaît toutes choses.

21 Bien-aimés, si notre cœur ne nous condamne pas, nous avons de l’assurance devant Dieu.

22 Quoi que ce soit que nous demandions, nous le recevons de lui, parce que nous gardons ses commandements et que nous faisons ce qui lui est agréable.

23 Et c’est ici son commandement: que nous croyions au nom de son Fils Jésus-Christ, et que nous nous aimions les uns les autres, selon le commandement qu’il nous a donné.

24 Celui qui garde ses commandements demeure en Dieu, et Dieu en lui; et nous connaissons qu’il demeure en nous par l’Esprit qu’il nous a donné.
