1 John 3:18 in Context — 1 John 3

16 Nisto conhecemos o amor: ele deu a sua vida por nós. E nós devemos dar as [nossas] vidas pelos irmãos.

17 Se alguém tiver bens do mundo, e vir o seu irmão em necessidade, e não se compadecer dele, como pode o amor de Deus estar nele?

18 Meus filhinhos, amemos não de palavra, nem de língua, mas sim com ação e verdade.

19 E nisto sabemos que somos da verdade, e teremos segurança nos nossos corações diante dele.

20 Pois, se o nosso coração [nos] condena, maior é Deus que o nosso coração, e conhece tudo.
