1 John 2:1-4

1 1My littleG5040 childrenG5040, I am 2writingG1125 theseG3778 thingsG3778 to you soG2443 thatG2443 you may not sinG264. And ifG1437 anyoneG5100 sinsG264, 3we haveG2192 an 4 5AdvocateG3875 with the FatherG3962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the righteousG1342; 2and He HimselfG846 is 6the 7propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266; and not for oursG2251 onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 8for the sins of the wholeG3650 worldG2889.

3 9By thisG3778 we knowG1097 that we have come to 10knowG1097 Him, ifG1437 we 11keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785. 4The one who saysG3004, “12I have come to 13knowG1097 Him,” and does not keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785, is a 14liarG5583, and 15the truthG225 is not in him;
