1 John 2:3 in Context — 1 John 2

1 Meus filhinhos, vos escrevo estas coisas para que não pequeis; mas se alguém pecar, temos um advogado com o Pai: Jesus Cristo, o justo.

2 E ele é o sacrifício para perdão dos nossos pecados; e não somente dos nossos, mas também dos de todo o mundo.

3 E nisto sabemos que o conhecemos, se guardamos os seus mandamentos.

4 Aquele que diz: “Eu o conheço”, mas não guarda os seus mandamentos, é mentiroso, e nele não está a verdade.
