Versions of 1 John 3:19-21 Compared

NRSVNABJBNIV
And by this we will know
that we are from the truth
and will reassure our hearts before Him
whenever our hearts condemn us
Now this is how we shall know
that we belong to the truth
and reassure our hearts before Him
in whatever our hearts condemn
only by this can we be certain:
that we are children of the truth
and be able to quieten our conscience in His presence
whatever accussations it may raise against us
This then is how we know we belong to the truth
and set our hearts at rest
in His presence
whenever our hearts condemn us
for God is greater than our hearts
and He knows everything
for God is greater than our hearts
and knows everything
because God is greater than our conscience
and he knows everything
For God is greater than our hearts
and he knows everything
Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us
we have boldness before God...
Beloved if our hearts do not condemn us
we have confidence in God...
My dear people
if we cannot be condemned by our conscience
we need not be afraid in God's presence...
Dear friends,
if our hearts do not condemn us
we have confidence in God...
