1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands.
4 The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him:
2:3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3And hereby know we that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3And by this we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
2:3This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
2:3and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;
2:3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
