1 I am writing this to you, my
children, so that you will not sin; but if anyone does sin, we have someone who
pleads with the Father on our behalf—Jesus Christ, the righteous one.
2 And Christ himself is the means by which
our sins are forgiven, and not our sins only, but also the sins of everyone.
3 If we obey God's commands, then
we are sure that we know him.
4 If we
say that we know him, but do not obey his commands, we are liars and there is no
truth in us.
5 But if we obey his word,
we are the ones whose love for God has really been made perfect. This is how we
can be sure that we are in union with God:
6 if we say that we remain in union with God, we should
live just as Jesus Christ did.
