1 John 2:1-2

Christ Our Advocate, Walking as He Walked, and Abiding in the Truth

The chapter moves from Christ’s advocacy for sinners to the evidences of genuine knowledge of God: obedience, love, rejection of the world, discernment of antichrist denial, and abiding in the Son.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

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