| 1 John 1:9-2:2 |
 |
| 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. ... 2:1 I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. |
