1 John 2:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

2 My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate^(A) with the Father—Jesus Christ the Righteous One. ² He Himself is the propitiation^(B) for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.^(C)

God’s Commands

³ This is how we are sure^(D) that we have come to know Him: by keeping His commands.^(E)
