what we have seen and heard, we announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship [is] with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And these [things] we write, in order that our joy may be complete.

My little children, I am writing these [things] to you in order that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous [one],

And now, little children, remain in him, so that whenever he is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before him at his coming.

By this the love of God is revealed in us: that God sent his one and only Son into the world in order that we may live through him.

By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as that one is, [so] also are we in this world.

These [things] I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, in order that we may know the one who is true, and we are in the one who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life.
