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.
