My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Yeshua the Messiah, the righteous.
2
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his mitzvot.
4
He who says, "I know him," and doesn't keep his mitzvot, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has most assuredly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
6
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

Brothers, I write no new mitzvah to you, but an old mitzvah which you had from the beginning. The old mitzvah is the word which you heard from the beginning.
