18Children, let us not love with word, nor with tongue, but in deed and in truth.


In Context

15 Every one that hates his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

16 Hereby we have known love, because he has laid down his life for us; and we ought for the brethren to lay down our lives.

17 But whoso may have the world's substance, and see his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abides the love of God in him?

18 Children, let us not love with word, nor with tongue, but in deed and in truth.

19 And hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before him —

20 that if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
