My little children,I am writingthese thingsto you sothat you may not sin.And ifanyonesins,we havean Advocatewith the Father,JesusChristthe righteous;
For there is oneGod,[and] onemediatoralsobetween Godand men,[the] manChristJesus,
whois the one who condemns?ChristJesusis He who died,yes,ratherwho was raised,whois at the right handof God,whoalsointercedesfor us.
Jesussaidto him, "I amthe way,and the truth,and the life;no onecomesto the Fatherbut throughMe.
He madeHim who knewnosin[to be] sinon our behalf,sothat we might becomethe righteousnessof Godin Him.
You are from God,little children,and have overcomethem; becausegreateris He who is in you thanhe who is in the world.
Little children,let us not lovewith wordorwith tongue,but in deedand truth.
Little children,make sure no onedeceivesyou; the one who practicesrighteousnessis righteous,justas He is righteous;
She said,"No one,Lord."And Jesussaid,"I do not condemnyou, either.Go.From nowon sinno more.]"
For Christdid not entera holy placemade with hands,a [mere] copyof the true one,but into heavenitself,nowto appearin the presenceof Godfor us;
You knowthat He appearedin orderto take awaysins;and in Him there is nosin.
for throughHim we bothhaveour accessin oneSpiritto the Father.
"Do not workfor the foodwhich perishes,but for the foodwhich enduresto eternallife,whichthe Sonof Manwill giveto you, for on Him the Father,God,has set His seal."
"However, ifyou have warnedthe righteousmanthat the righteousshould not sinand he does not sin,he shall surelylivebecausehe tookwarning;and you have deliveredyourself."
For Christalsodiedfor sinsonce for all,[the] justfor [the] unjust,sothat He might bringus to God,having been put to deathin the flesh,but made alivein the spirit;
BE ANGRY,AND [yet] DO NOT SIN;do not let the sungo downon your anger,
My children,with whomI amagainin laboruntilChristis formedin you--
evenas the FatherknowsMe and I knowthe Father;and I lay downMy lifefor the sheep.
"But the testimonywhich I haveis greaterthan [the testimony of] John;for the workswhichthe Fatherhas givenMe to accomplish--the veryworksthat I do--testifyaboutMe, that the Fatherhas sentMe.
"All thingshave been handed overto Me by My Father,and no oneknowswhothe Sonis exceptthe Father,and whothe Fatheris exceptthe Son,and anyone to whomthe Sonwillsto reveal[Him]."
WHOCOMMITTEDNOSIN,NORWAS ANY DECEITFOUNDIN HIS MOUTH;
Become sober-mindedas you ought,and stopsinning;for somehaveno knowledgeof God.I speak[this] to your shame.
AfterwardJesusfoundhim in the templeand saidto him, "Behold,you have becomewell;do not sinanymore,sothat nothingworsehappensto you."
Rejoicegreatly,O daughterof Zion!Shout[in triumph], O daughterof Jerusalem!Behold,your kingis comingto you; He is justand endowedwith salvation,Humble,and mountedon a donkey,Even on a colt,the foalof a donkey.
Pureand undefiledreligionin the sightof [our] Godand Fatheris this:to visitorphansand widowsin their distress,[and] to keeponeselfunstainedby the world.
Tremble,and do not sin;Meditatein your heartupon your bed,and be still.Selah.
Little children,guardyourselvesfrom idols.
With it we bless[our] Lordand Father,and with it we cursemen,who have been madein the likenessof God;
Whatthen?Shall we sinbecausewe are not underlawbut undergrace?May it neverbe!
"Little children,I amwith you a little whilelonger.You will seekMe; and as I saidto the Jews,nowI alsosayto you, 'WhereI am going,you cannotcome.'
I am writingthese thingsto you, hopingto cometo you before long;
SoJesussaidto them, "Children,you do not haveanyfish,do you?" They answeredHim, "No."
"I will askthe Father,and He will giveyou anotherHelper,that He may be with you forever;
"Which oneof the prophetsdid your fathersnot persecute?They killedthosewho had previously announcedthe comingof the Righteous One,whosebetrayersand murderersyou have nowbecome;
For ifwhile we were enemieswe were reconciledto Godthroughthe deathof His Son,muchmore,having been reconciled,we shall be savedby His life.
Allunrighteousnessis sin,and there is a sinnot [leading] to death.
I havenogreaterjoythan this,to hearof my childrenwalkingin the truth.
