My{G3450} little children{G5040}, let us{G25} not{G3361} love{G25}{(G5725)} in word{G3056}, neither{G3366} in tongue{G1100}; but{G235} in deed{G2041} and{G2532} in truth{G225}.
Strong's King James
Little children, let us not love (agape) by word (logos) or tongue alone, but rather in deed and truth.
The F.O.G
[18] Dear children, let's stop just saying we love each other; let's show it through our actions and genuine care. Love is a verb, not just a feeling or a word.Beloved children, let true love be expressed not merely in words or lip service, but through real actions.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth!
Young's Literal Translation
