This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
2:1 The messiah is our advocate
2 I am writing to you all, my treasured new believers, so that you might avoid sinning. If anyone should sin, we have an advocate to help us relate to the father: Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) the sinless messiah, 2 and it’s him who is the atonement for our sins—not just our sins, but also the sins of the entire world.
3 We will know if we really know Yeshua if we obey his teachings. 4 If someone says that they know Yeshua but don’t do what he taught, that person is a liar and hasn’t internalised the truth. 5 However the person who obeys Yeshua’s teaching demonstrates that God’s love has truly been planted in them. We know that we are alive in Yeshua if 6 we claim to live in him and then live our lives like he lived.
