1 John 3:18-20 ESV Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. (19) By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; (20) for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

1 John 3:18-20 GW Dear children, we must show love through actions that are sincere, not through empty words. (19) This is how we will know that we belong to the truth and how we will be reassured in his presence. (20) Whenever our conscience condemns us, we will be reassured that God is greater than our conscience and knows everything.

1 John 3:18-20 CEV Children, you show love for others by truly helping them, and not merely by talking about it. (19) When we love others, we know that we belong to the truth, and we feel at ease in the presence of God. (20) But even if we don't feel at ease, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.

1 John 3:18-20 GNB My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action. (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.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
