The messiah is our advocate

1 Yhn 2:1–6

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.

Read the Literal Version in context

2 Little _children of _me, I _am _writing these things to _you _all, in _order _that you _may_ not _sin.
And if anyone may _sin, we _are _having an_advocate with the father, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah the_righteous,

2 and he is the_atonement for the sins of _us, and not for the our sins only, but also for all the world.

3 And by this we _are _knowing that we _have _known him, if we _may _be _keeping the commands of _him.

4 The one saying, that I _have _known him, and not keeping the commands of _him, is a_liar, and the truth is not in this one,

5 but whoever wishfully may _be _keeping the message of _him, truly the love of_ the _god has _been _perfected in this one.
By this we _are _knowing that we _are in him:

6 the one saying to _be _remaining in him, ought also himself to _be _walking as that one walked.
