1. My children, I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one.
2. He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.
3. The way we may be sure that we know him is to keep his commandments.
4. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
