1 John 2:1-6

Common English Bible CEB

1 My little children, I'm writing these things to you so that you don't sin. But if you do sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one.

2 He is God's way of dealing with our sins, not only ours but the sins of the whole world.

3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

4 The one who claims, "I know him," while not keeping his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this person.

5 But the love of God is truly perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know we are in him.

6 The one who claims to remain in him ought to live in the same way as he lived.

New International Version NIV

1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—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 keep his commands.

4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.

5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:

6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
