1. My dear children, I'm writing this to you so that you will not sin. But suppose someone does sin. Then we have one who speaks to the Father for us. He stands up for us. He is Jesus Christ, the Blameless One.
2. He gave his life to pay for our sins. But he not only paid for our sins. He also paid for the sins of the whole world.
3. We know that we have come to know God if we obey his commands.
4. Suppose someone says, "I know him." But suppose that person does not do what God commands. Then that person is a liar and is not telling the truth.
