'Things' in the Bible

And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.

My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.

Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him.

These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.

As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

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