1 HIJITOS míos, estas cosas os escribo, para que no pequéis; y si alguno hubiere pecado, abogado tenemos para con el Padre, á Jesucristo el justo;

2 Y él es la propiciación por nuestros pecados: y no solamente por los nuestros, sino también por los de todo el mundo.

3 Y en esto sabemos que nosotros le hemos conocido, si guardamos sus mandamientos.

4 El que dice, Yo le he conocido, y no guarda sus mandamientos, el tal es mentiroso, y no hay verdad en él;

5 Mas el que guarda su palabra, la caridad de Dios está verdaderamente perfecta en él: por esto sabemos que estamos en él.
