1 Yochanan 2:2-12

²And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

³This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

⁴One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

⁵But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:

⁶he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

⁷Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

⁸Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines.

⁹He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.

¹⁰He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

¹¹But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹²I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
