19 By this we know that we are of the truth and will convince our heart before him,
20 that if our heart condemns us, that God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
21 Dear friends, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God,
22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment: that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he commanded us.
24 And the one who keeps his commandments resides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he resides in us: by the Spirit whom he has given to us.
