1 John 2:1-6 ▼

1 My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ the righteous one.

2 He himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.

3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commands.

4 The one who says, “I have come to know him,” and yet doesn’t keep his commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the love of God is made complete. This is how we know we are in him:

6 The one who says he remains in him should walk just as he walked.
