1 John 3 — Context

My loved ones, if our heart does not say that we have done wrong, we have no fear before him;

And he gives us all our requests, because we keep his laws and do the things which are pleasing in his eyes.

And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us.

He who keeps his laws is in God and God is in him. And the Spirit which he gave us is our witness that he is in us.
