We are writing these things so that our joy may be full.

My little children, I'm writing these things to you so that you might not sin. Yet if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father Jesus, the Messiah, one who is righteous.

These people belong to the world. That is why they speak from the world's perspective, and the world listens to them.

For there are three witnesses in heaven the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.

And there are three witnesses on earth the Spirit, the water, and the blood and these three are one.

I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
