1. My little children, I write this to you, so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Intercessor with the Father, יהושע Messiah, a righteous One.
2. And He Himself is an atoning offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world.
3. And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands.
4. The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5. But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
6. The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.
7. Beloved, I write no fresh command to you, but an old command which you have had from the beginning. The old command is the Word which you heard from the beginning.
