1 John 3:14-18, James 1:27, Isaiah 1:17 - ESV Online

1 JOHN 3:14-18

14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

JAMES 1:27

« Hebrews 13 | James 1 | James 2 »

27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

ISAIAH 1:17

« Song of Solomon 8 | Isaiah 1 | Isaiah 2 »

learn to do good;

seek justice,

correct oppression;

bring justice to the fatherless,

plead the widow’s cause.
