1 John 2:1-8 ▼

1 My little children, these things write I to you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But whoever keeps his word, in him truly is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

6 He that said he stays in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.

8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines.
