1 My 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. 2 ^zHe is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but ^aalso for the sins of the whole world.

13 I write ^fthese things to you who ^gbelieve in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.
