Indonesian Bible (TSI) 2013 - (Terjemahan Sederhana Indonesia)
Bila kita mengasihi sesama, yakinlah bahwa hidup kita sudah sesuai dengan ajaran benar dari Allah. Hal itu akan menolong kita waktu kita datang kepada Allah dalam doa. Kadang-kadang kita tidak berani berdoa karena merasa bersalah. Tetapi kalau kita mengasihi sesama, kita boleh menenangkan hati dengan kesadaran bahwa Allah lebih besar daripada rasa bersalah kita, dan Dia mengetahui segala sesuatu.
