1 John 2:2
Verse 2 of 29. The 2nd of 5 chapters in 1 John, in The General Letters.
1My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.
5But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:
6he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
