1 John 2:3 in Context — 1 John 2

1 Mes petits enfants, je vous écris ces choses, afin que vous ne péchiez point. Et si quelqu’un a péché, nous avons un avocat auprès du Père, Jésus-Christ le juste.

2 Il est lui-même une victime expiatoire pour nos péchés, non seulement pour les nôtres, mais aussi pour ceux du monde entier.

3 Si nous gardons ses commandements, par là nous savons que nous l’avons connu.

4 Celui qui dit: Je l’ai connu, et qui ne garde pas ses commandements, est un menteur, et la vérité n’est point en lui.

5 Mais celui qui garde sa parole, l’amour de Dieu est véritablement parfait en lui: par là nous savons que nous sommes en lui.
