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

1 My 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.

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