1 John 2:3 YLT

¹  My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

²  and he -- he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,

³  and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

⁴  he who is saying, 'I have known him,' and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not;

⁵  and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.
