Jesus Our Advocate
2 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. [But] if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, [the] Righteous [One]. 2 He Himself is [the] atoning sacrifice[fn] for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the [sins] of [the] whole world.
3 By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. 4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” [but] does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him: 6 Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as [Jesus] walked.
