1
My little sons, I write to you these things, that ye sin not. But if any man sinneth, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ [just],
2
and he is the forgiveness for our sins; and not only for our sins [and he is helping for our sins; soothly not only for ours], but also for the sins of all the world.
3
And in this thing we know, that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4
He that saith that he knoweth God, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and truth is not in him.
5
But the charity of God is perfect verily in him, that keepeth his word [Forsooth who keepeth his word, verily in him is perfect charity]. In this thing we know, that we be in him, if we be perfect in him.
6
He that saith, that he dwelleth in him, he oweth to walk, as he walked.
