1Jn 2:1  My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 

1Jn 2:2  He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 

1Jn 2:3  We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 

1Jn 2:4  Whoever says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 

1Jn 2:5  But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 

1Jn 2:6  Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. 

1Jn 4:9  This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 

1Jn 4:10  This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 

1Jn 4:11  Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 

1Jn 4:12  No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 

1Jn 4:13  This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 

1Jn 4:14  And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 

1Jn 4:15  If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 

1Jn 4:16  And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 

1Jn 4:17  This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
