Tonights verses are:

3 John 1:2-4 (King James Version)

2Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth.

3For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth
that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

 4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

1 John 4:16-18 (King James Version)

16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love;
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of
judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

1 John 4:18 (Amplified Bible)

18There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete,
perfect) love [a]turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror!
For fear [b]brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is
afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into
love’s complete perfection].

1 John 5:18 (King James Version)

18We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten
of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

1 John 5:18 (Amplified Bible)

18We know [absolutely] that anyone born of God does not [deliberately and
knowingly] practice committing sin, but the One Who was begotten of God
carefully watches over and protects him [Christ’s divine presence within him
preserves him against the evil], and the wicked one does not lay hold (get a
grip) on him or touch [him].

1 John 3:24 (King James Version)

 24And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And
hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

1 John 3:24 (Amplified Bible)

24All who keep His commandments [who obey His orders and follow His plan,
live and continue to live, to stay and] abide in Him, and He in them.
[[a]They let Christ be a home to them and they are the home of Christ.] And
by this we know and understand and have the proof that He [really] lives and
makes His home in us: by the [Holy] Spirit Whom He has given us.

Matthew 5:48 (Amplified Bible)

48You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete [a]maturity of
godliness in mind and character, [b]having reached the proper height of
virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect.(A)
