Christ Our Advocate
1My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, ywe have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2zHe is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but aalso for the sins of the whole world. 3And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we bkeep his commandments.
