1. My children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Intercessor with the Father—the righteous Messiah Yeshua.
2. He is the atonement for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world.
3. Now we know that we have come to know Him by this—if we keep His commandments.
4. The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
