NEW LIVING TRANSLATION
19 Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God.
20 Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.
21 Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence.
22 And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him.
23 And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us.
24 Those who obey God’s commandments remain in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Spirit he gave us lives in us.
GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION
19 This, then, is how we will know that we belong to the truth; this is how we will be confident in God's presence.
20 If our conscience condemns us, we know that God is greater than our conscience and that he knows everything.
21 And so, my dear friends, if our conscience does not condemn us, we have courage in God's presence.
22 We receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.
23 What he commands is that we believe in his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as Christ commanded us.
24 Those who obey God's commands live in union with God and God lives in union with them. And because of the Spirit that God has given us we know that God lives in union with us.
