riversident 1John:1:5-2:14
riversident@1John:1:5 @ This is the message which we have heard from him and tell to you, God is light and in him is no darkness at all.
riversident@1John:1:6 @ If we say, "We have fellowship with him," and live in darkness, we lie and are not acting the truth.
riversident@1John:1:7 @ If we live in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
riversident@1John:1:8 @ If we say, "We have no sin," we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
riversident@1John:1:9 @ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness:
riversident@1John:1:10 @ If we say, "We have not sinned," we make him a liar and his message is not in us.
riversident@1John:2:1 @ MY children, I am writing this to you in order that you may not sin. Even if any one sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is righteous.
riversident@1John:2:2 @ And he is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but for those of the whole world.
riversident@1John:2:3 @ By this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commands.
riversident@1John:2:4 @ He who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commands, is a liar and truth is not in him.
riversident@1John:2:5 @ But whoever keeps his word, truly in him the love of God has been made perfect. By this we know that we are in him.
riversident@1John:2:6 @ He who says that he is abiding in him ought himself to live as he lived.
riversident@1John:2:7 @ Beloved, I am not writing a new command for you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. The old command is the message that you have heard.
riversident@1John:2:8 @ Again I am writing a new command, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.
riversident@1John:2:9 @ He who says that he is in the light and hates his brother is in darkness still.
riversident@1John:2:10 @ He who loves his brother remains in the light and there is no stumbling block in him.
riversident@1John:2:11 @ He who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and knows not where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
riversident@1John:2:12 @ I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven for his name's sake.
riversident@1John:2:13 @ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have come to know the Father.
riversident@1John:2:14 @ I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and the message of God remains in you and you have conquered the Evil One.
