1 John 2

John urges believers not to sin, presenting Ιησους Χριστος the righteous as their parakletos (advocate) with the Father and propitiation for sins of the whole world. He teaches that true knowledge of God is shown by keeping his commandments, loving brothers to abide in light, warns against loving the world or antichrists, and encourages fathers, young men, and children in faith.
