1 John 2:1-8 ▼

1 My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And, if any one sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous.

2 And He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

3 And in this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments.

4 He who says, "I have known Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

5 but whosoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected: in this we know that we are in Him.

6 He who says that he is abiding in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked.

7 Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but and old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard.

8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
