1 My children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Intercessor with the Father—the righteous Messiah Yeshua.
2 He is the atonement for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world.
3 Now we know that we have come to know Him by this—if we keep His commandments.
4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God is truly made perfect. We know that we are in Him by this—
6 whoever claims to abide in Him must walk just as He walked.
