1 John 2:1-5

1My children, these things I write to you in order that ye may not sin; and if any one sin, we have a patron with the Father, Jesus Christ [the] righteous;

2and he is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.

3And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

5but whoever keeps his word, in him verily the love of 1God is perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him.
