1 John 2
1 My dear children, I write this so you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have someone who speaks up for us before the Father! Jesus Christ, the Righteous One!
3 Here is how we know we really know him. We obey his commands!
7 Brothers and sisters, I am not handing you some brand new command. I am giving you an old command. You had it from the very start! That old command is the word you heard at the beginning.
12 I am writing to you, my dear children. Your sins have been washed away because of Jesus!
18 Children, we are in the last hour! You heard the enemy of Jesus is coming. Well, many enemies of Jesus are already here! That is how we know the end is close.
