Christ Our Advocate

2 My little children, I am writing these things to you, so that you do not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One. ² He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

³ By this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. ⁴ Whoever says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵ But whoever keeps His word truly has the love of God perfected in him. By this we know we are in Him. ⁶ Whoever says he remains in Him ought to walk as He walked.
