In return (I speak as to my children) you also be open.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
My little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.
Little children, let no one deceive you. The one who does righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
My little children, I am writing these things to you, so that you do not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One.
As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and commanded every one of you, as a father does his own children,
Brothers, I ask you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong.
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
My little children, of whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,
I will run the way of Your commandments, for You shall enlarge my heart.
