1 John 3:16-18
Worldwide English (New Testament)
16 Christ died for us. That is how we know what love is. We also should be willing to die for our brothers.
17 Perhaps a man has plenty of food and things. He sees that his brother needs some. If he does not want to help his brother, does he love God?
18 My children, we must not only talk about loving people; we must show we love people by what we do for them. We must really love them.

1 John 3:16-18
New International Reader's Version
16 We know what love is because Jesus Christ gave his life for us. So we should give our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 Suppose someone sees a brother or sister in need and is able to help them. And suppose that person doesn’t take pity on these needy people. Then how can the love of God be in that person? 18 Dear children, don’t just talk about love. Put your love into action. Then it will truly be love.
