"In this way, we will know that we are of the truth, and we will commend our hearts in his sight. "
— 1 John 3:19, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.”
“Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him: ”
“And by this we know that we are of the truth, and persuade our hearts before him,”
“And by this we will know that we are of the truth and will convince our conscience in his presence,”
“In this we know that we are of the truth and in his sight shall persuade our hearts.”
“In this way we may be certain that we are true, and may give our heart comfort before him,”
“And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.”
We know the love of God in this way: because he laid down his life for us. And so, we must lay down our lives for our brothers.
Whoever possesses the goods of this world, and sees his brother to be in need, and yet closes his heart to him: in what way does the love of God abide in him?
My little sons, let us not love in words only, but in works and in truth.
In this way, we will know that we are of the truth, and we will commend our hearts in his sight.
For even if our heart reproaches us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things.
Most beloved, if our heart does not reproach us, we can have confidence toward God;
and whatever we shall request of him, we shall receive from him. For we keep his commandments, and we do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
