1 JOHN 2:1-6...MY LITTLE CHILDREN, I AM WRITING THIS TO YOU SO THAT YOU MAY NOT SIN; BUT IF ANY ONE DOES SIN, WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE WITH THE FATHER, JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS; 2.AND HE IS THE EXPIATION FOR OUR SINS, AND NOT FOR OURS ONLY BUT ALSO FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD..3.AND BY THIS WE MAY BE SURE THAT WE KNOW HIM, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS..4.HE WHO SAYS "I KNOW HIM" BUT DISOBEYS HIS COMMANDMENTS IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM; 5.BUT WHOEVER KEEPS HIS WORD, IN HIM TRULY LOVE FOR GOD IS PERFECTED. BY THIS WE MAY BE SURE THAT WE ARE IN HIM: 6..HE WHO SAYS HE ABIDES IN HIM OUGHT TO WALK IN THE SAME WAY IN WHICH HE WALKED....15.DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD OR THE THINGS IN THE WORLD. IF ANYONE LOVES THE WORLD, LOVE FOR THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM..16.FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD, THE LUST OF THE FLESH AND THE LUST OF THE EYES AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE, IS NOT OF THE FATHER BUT IS OF THE WORLD..17.AND THE WORLD PASSES AWAY, AND THE LUST OF IT; BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF GOD ABIDES FOR EVER...5:10-12..HE WHO BELIEVES IN THE SON OF GOD HAS THE TESTIMONY IN HIMSELF. HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE GOD, HAS MADE HIM A LIAR, BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE TESTIMONY THAT GOD HAS BORNE TO HIS SON..11.AND THIS IS THE TESTIMONY, THAT GOD GAVE US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON..12.HE WHO HAS THE SON HAS LIFE; HE WHO HAS NOT THE SON HAS NOT LIFE.
