Christ Is Our Advocate

1 1My little children, I am 2writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, 3we have an [a]4Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;
2 and He Himself is 5the [b]propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also 6for those of the whole world.
3 7By this we know that we have come to 8know Him, if we 9keep His commandments.
4 The one who says, "10I have come to 11know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a 12liar, and 13the truth is not in him;
5 but whoever * 14keeps His word, in him the 15love of God has truly been perfected. 16By this we know that we are in Him:
6 the one who says he 17abides in Him 18ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.
7 19Beloved, I am 20not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had 21from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.
8 [c]On the other hand, I am writing 22a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because 23the darkness is passing away and 24the true Light is already shining.
9 The one who says he is in the Light and yet 25hates his 26brother is in the darkness until now.
